Eggo

Awarded 2 out of 5 green leaves, the ‘Eggo Kellogg’s® Eggo® Grab & Go Liège-Style Strawberry Waffles’ do not meet the high standards for cleaner, healthier food options set by our website. This product lacks organic certification, uses genetically modified ingredients, and incorporates added sugars, which significantly impacts its green leaf rating.

The ingredient list for these waffles includes wheat flour, butter, and eggs, which are common in many baked goods. However, the presence of added sugars, such as pearl sugar and invert sugar, raises concerns for those seeking less processed options. Non-organic ingredients further detract from the product’s clean food status. Additionally, the inclusion of modified corn starch, natural flavors, glycerin, and soy lecithin suggests the use of additives that may be seen as unnecessary or undesirable in a cleaner food product.

The use of dried strawberries and cranberries could be a positive aspect, as they can contribute to the flavor and nutritional value of the waffles. However, the benefits might be overshadowed by the product’s overall composition, which does not align with the principles of clean eating.

This product has room for improvement to align with cleaner food standards. Steps such as sourcing organic ingredients, eliminating GMOs, reducing added sugars, and removing potentially harmful additives would be necessary to enhance its healthfulness and overall quality. The current formulation does not support the goals of consumers searching for purer and more wholesome food choices in the marketplace. The 2 out of 5 green leaves rating reflects these areas where the product fails to meet the criteria for a cleaner, more natural food option.
