Rating:     Not Clean

Ingredient Score:

Rated at 2 out of 5 green leaves, the Field Roast Buffalo Wings fall short in the clean food category due to several ingredients that raise concerns about their healthiness. This product is not organic, which immediately deducts from its overall score. While it does use non-GMO ingredients, which is a positive aspect, the presence of added sugars, including cane sugar and fructose, detracts significantly from its rating.

Furthermore, the product contains cane sugar, which is considered a more harmful type of added sugar, leading to a further reduction in its score. The inclusion of potentially harmful additives, such as natural flavors, indicates that the product may not align with the strict standards set for cleaner food options. The oils used in the product, specifically safflower, canola, and palm oil, are also flagged as harmful, contributing to the low score.

This product is composed of a variety of ingredients, some of which are more favorable, such as vital wheat gluten, unsulfured dried apples, and Yukon Gold potatoes. However, the presence of questionable additives and oils, alongside non-organic components, overshadow these positive elements. The batter coating and buffalo sauce further compound the issue with additional additives and sugars.

Consumers seeking cleaner, healthier food alternatives might find the Field Roast Buffalo Wings lacking in several aspects. Despite the use of non-GMO ingredients, the negatives, including added sugars, potentially harmful additives, and oils, present a considerable challenge for this product to meet the expectations of health-conscious individuals. The product’s score reflects the need for improvements to elevate its standing as a cleaner food option. It is clear that for the Field Roast Buffalo Wings to achieve a higher green leaf rating, a reformulation prioritizing organic ingredients and the elimination of harmful additives and oils is necessary.
