Ingredient Score:
The Cheerios Oat Crunch Berry has been awarded a rating of 1 out of 5 green leaves, representing a very low score on our healthier food scale. This product is not recommended due to an array of unfavorable factors.
The Cheerios Oat Crunch Berry is not organic, which is one of the fundamental criteria for a clean food product. Furthermore, it does not use non-GMO ingredients, which raises some health concerns. This cereal is packed with added sugars, including plain sugar and corn syrup, which are not beneficial for the body.
The list of ingredients reveals more alarming components. The product contains potentially harmful additives like natural flavor, flavor, caramel color, and Pyridoxine Hydrochloride. These additives are often used to enhance the taste and appearance of the product, but they can have negative effects on our health. In particular, caramel color is a known harmful additive, which further reduces the healthiness of this product.
Additionally, the Cheerios Oat Crunch Berry contains harmful oils. Canola and palm oil are known to be unhealthy due to their high content of saturated fats. These oils are not beneficial for the heart and can contribute to various health problems.
From this analysis, it is clear that the Cheerios Oat Crunch Berry does not meet our standards for a clean and healthy food product. Despite the fact that it contains whole grain oats and various fruit purees, the presence of harmful additives, sugars, and oils outweighs these benefits, leading to an overall score of 1 out of 5 green leaves. This cereal is not advisable for those seeking cleaner food options. Its low rating reflects the product’s lack of organic and non-GMO ingredients, as well as its inclusion of harmful additives and oils. For these reasons, we recommend avoiding this product in favor of healthier alternatives.
