Ingredient Score:
The Eggo Kellogg’s® Eggo® Strawberry Waffles earn a green leaf rating of 1/5 on our scale, signaling a product that falls short of cleaner food standards. This assessment is the result of a rigorous review of its ingredients and production practices.
These waffles are not organic, and they contain genetically modified (GMO) ingredients. The presence of added sugars, such as sugar and citric acid, further detracts from their rating. The product also includes dextrose, a type of sugar that is considered more harmful due to its processing method and potential health impact.
The ingredient list reveals the use of additives like natural flavors and modified food starch, which are often viewed with caution due to their processed nature and potential health implications. Enriched flour and soy lecithin are also present, which are commonly used in food processing but may raise concerns for those seeking whole, unmodified ingredients.
Moreover, the waffles contain oils that are deemed harmful, including canola and palm oil. The production and use of these oils are associated with health and environmental concerns, which contributes to the product’s low score.
The vitamins and minerals added to the waffles, such as iron and vitamin B12, do not offset the negative impact of the other ingredients. While these nutrients are essential for health, the overall composition of the product does not align with the goal of providing cleaner food options.
The Eggo Kellogg’s® Eggo® Strawberry Waffles, with a 1/5 green leaf rating, are a product that consumers seeking healthier, more natural, and environmentally friendly options might consider avoiding. The evaluation of its ingredients and the non-organic, GMO-inclusive nature of the product guide this recommendation.
