Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Cape Cod Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper snack provides a less desirable choice for those seeking cleaner food options. This product is not organic and includes genetically modified ingredients, which already detracts significantly from its clean food credentials. Additionally, the inclusion of added sugars, specifically sugar and citric acid, raises concerns regarding its nutritional profile.
The presence of corn syrup, a more harmful form of added sugar, further diminishes the product’s standing. Moreover, this snack contains several potentially harmful additives, with natural flavor and flavor being notable examples. Maltodextrin, identified as a known harmful additive, is also part of the ingredient list, contributing to the product’s low score.
Another problematic aspect is the use of certain oils in the product. The combination of safflower oil, canola, and unspecified vegetable oils has been deemed harmful, reinforcing the rationale behind the product’s minimal green leaf rating.
The assessment of the Cape Cod Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper snack reflects a rigorous analysis of its ingredients, focusing on the importance of offering cleaner food options. This product falls short of that standard due to its non-organic status, GMO content, various forms of added sugars, and the inclusion of both potentially and known harmful additives. The use of oils considered harmful further impacts its score negatively.
The final evaluation suggests that consumers prioritize other options that align more closely with the principles of clean eating. The 1/5 green leaf rating serves as a clear indicator that the Cape Cod Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper snack does not meet the criteria for a cleaner, healthier food choice.
