Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rating: 1/5 Green Leaves
The Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cinnagraham is a food product that has earned the lowest possible green leaf rating on our website, indicative of its position as a less desirable choice for those seeking cleaner food options. The product is not organic, and it contains genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, which immediately impacts its standing on our scale. Furthermore, the presence of added sugars such as brown sugar, sugar, fructose, and particularly dextrose, which we classify as more harmful, detracts significantly from the product’s score.
The ingredient list reveals several potentially harmful additives, including natural flavors, soy lecithin, and BHT. Caramel color and BHT are also identified as known harmful additives. These components are common in many processed foods but are flagged on our website for their potential health risks. Additionally, the product contains oils like canola and palm, which we consider to be harmful.
The inclusion of vitamins and minerals such as calcium carbonate, various B vitamins, and iron is noted; however, these do not mitigate the negative impact of the other ingredients on the overall score. The product’s formulation does not align with the standards we endorse for cleaner, healthier food options.
The Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cinnagraham, with its current ingredients and lack of organic certification, is not recommended for those aiming to consume cleaner and more health-conscious foods. Our assessment is based on a thorough examination of its components, and we advise consumers to seek alternatives that better meet the criteria for a higher green leaf rating, reflecting a commitment to healthier, less processed, and more natural food choices.
