Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Awarded a rating of 1 out of 5 green leaves, the Eggo Kellogg’s® Eggo® Buttermilk Pancakes fall short in offering a clean food option. The product is not organic and contains genetically modified ingredients, which immediately impacts its standing on our scale.
The ingredient list reveals the inclusion of high fructose corn syrup, a type of added sugar that carries negative health implications and contributes significantly to the product’s low score. Furthermore, the presence of additional corn syrup compounds the issue, reinforcing the product’s position at the lower end of our rating scale.
The use of enriched flour, soy lecithin, and pyridoxine hydrochloride, which are considered potentially harmful additives, further detracts from the product’s healthfulness. The pancakes also contain oils such as canola and unspecified vegetable oils, which are deemed harmful in our assessment criteria.
These pancakes are not recommended for consumers seeking cleaner food options. The combination of non-organic ingredients, GMOs, added sugars, and potentially harmful additives and oils aligns the product with those typically found in a market saturated with unhealthy choices. The Eggo Kellogg’s® Eggo® Buttermilk Pancakes epitomize the type of food product that our rating system aims to caution against, emphasizing the importance of scrutinizing ingredient lists and making informed choices in pursuit of a healthier diet.
