Burger King

Our green leaf rating for the Burger King Hash Rounds stands at 1/5, indicating a product that falls significantly short of our clean food criteria. This score reflects the presence of several ingredients that do not align with our standards for healthier food options.

The Hash Rounds are not made with organic ingredients, which is a foundational expectation for a cleaner food product. In addition, the ingredients list reveals the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which further detracts from the product’s overall score. Citric acid, commonly found in various food items, is counted as an added sugar in this context, contributing to the low rating. Dextrose, a more obvious form of added sugar, is also present and is a cause for concern due to its potential health impacts.

Moreover, the Hash Rounds contain a number of additives, such as unspecified flavors and mono and diglycerides, which are often used as emulsifiers in processed foods. The use of enriched wheat flour, which includes various added vitamins and minerals, is typically seen in products that have been stripped of their natural nutrients during processing. These ingredients are considered potentially harmful and are not in line with our commitment to cleaner eating.

The inclusion of soybean oil is another factor that has influenced the low rating. Soybean oil is a common cooking oil that we have identified as a harmful oil due to its processing methods and potential health implications.

Overall, the Burger King Hash Rounds receive the minimum green leaf rating from our website due to their composition, which includes non-organic ingredients, GMOs, added sugars, potentially harmful additives, and harmful oils. Our examination of the ingredients and how they align with our standards for clean and healthy food options leads us to advise consumers to avoid this product. This assessment is based on the ingredients and their alignment with our criteria, without considering the flavor or taste of the product.
