Rating:     We Avoid

Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Cape Cod Less Fat Aged White Cheddar & Sour Cream chips do not meet the criteria for a cleaner food option according to our rigorous standards. Our assessment of this product is based on its composition and the use of ingredients that we’ve determined to be potentially harmful or less desirable for consumers seeking healthier alternatives.

This snack is not organic, which detracts from its overall score as we prioritize organically sourced items. Additionally, it is not verified as non-GMO, further lowering its standing on our scale. The presence of citric acid and dextrose, identified as added sugars, contributes negatively to the product’s healthfulness. We are particularly cautious of added sugars due to their association with various health issues when consumed in excess.

Furthermore, the inclusion of natural flavors raises concerns since this term can mask a range of unspecified additives. Maltodextrin, a known harmful additive, is also present and is often used as a thickener or filler, which can impact blood sugar levels. The use of safflower oil, canola oil, and unspecified vegetable oils is another reason for the low rating, as these oils can be highly processed and may contain unhealthy fats.

Our review process is stringent, and we aim to inform consumers about the quality of ingredients in their food choices. The Cape Cod Less Fat Aged White Cheddar & Sour Cream chips fall short in offering a clean eating option, as evidenced by the numerous deductions for non-organic, GMO, added sugars, and potentially harmful additives and oils. For those seeking healthier snack alternatives, this product would not be recommended. We encourage consumers to look for snacks with higher green leaf ratings that align with a cleaner eating philosophy.
