- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Awarded a 1/5 green leaf rating, Dr. Praeger’s Rice Crusted Fishies Made with Minced Fish fall short in meeting the criteria for cleaner food options set by our website. This product is not organic, contributing to a lower score. While the fishies are made with non-GMO ingredients, they are penalized for the inclusion of added sugars, specifically dextrose, which is considered harmful. The presence of corn starch, a potentially harmful additive, further detracts from the product’s score. Additionally, the use of canola oil, categorized as a harmful oil, negatively impacts the overall rating.
The product’s composition begins with minced Alaskan Pollock, a wild fish, followed by a rice crust that includes rice flour and whole grain amaranth flour. Potato flakes and potatoes also feature in the ingredient list, alongside sea salt and spices for flavoring. However, the beneficial aspects of the fish and whole grains are overshadowed by the negative attributes of certain other ingredients according to our assessment criteria.
Dr. Praeger’s Rice Crusted Fishies are not recommended based on our scoring system, which emphasizes the importance of organic, non-GMO, and additive-free products for a healthier diet. The presence of dextrose, corn starch, and canola oil significantly lowers the product’s standing, resulting in the minimum green leaf rating. Consumers seeking cleaner and healthier food options are advised to consider alternative products that align more closely with our standards for nutritious and wholesome ingredients.
