Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Sugar Cookie Toast Crunch is a product that our evaluations advise consumers to avoid. The cereal is not organic and includes genetically modified ingredients. It features added sugars such as sugar, fructose, and dextrose, which contribute negatively to its overall health profile. The product also contains a range of additives, including natural flavors and soy lecithin, as well as BHT, a preservative with potential health concerns.
The presence of maltodextrin and BHT is particularly troubling; these ingredients are recognized as harmful additives. Additionally, the use of canola and palm oils raises concerns due to their processing methods and potential health implications. The product includes a variety of added vitamins and minerals, which, while potentially beneficial, do not offset the negative impact of the other ingredients.
The product’s score reflects its position at the lowest end of our health-conscious scale. Our evaluation system penalizes products that contain ingredients that may be harmful or are not in line with cleaner eating practices. The Cinnamon Toast Crunch Sugar Cookie Toast Crunch falls short of these standards due to its non-organic status, GMO content, added sugars, and harmful additives.
Consumers seeking cleaner food options are recommended to consider alternatives that prioritize organic ingredients, avoid GMOs, and exclude harmful additives and sugars. The Cinnamon Toast Crunch Sugar Cookie Toast Crunch does not meet the criteria for a cleaner food choice, leading to its low green leaf rating. It is essential for shoppers to be aware of the ingredients in their food and choose products that align with a healthful diet. This product does not align with those values and is best left on the shelf.
