Rating:     We Avoid

Ingredient Score:

Awarded a 1/5 green leaf rating, the Field Roast Classic Style Sausage, Egg & Cheese sandwich raises concerns for health-conscious consumers seeking cleaner food options. This product is not organic and includes genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which leads to deductions in its overall health score. Additionally, the presence of added sugars, particularly cane sugar, further diminishes its standing as a clean food choice.

The ingredient list reveals the use of several elements that are flagged as potentially harmful. Natural flavor and flavor additives are often ambiguous terms that obscure the true content of the product. Soy lecithin and corn starch, while common in processed foods, are also not aligned with the purest ingredient profiles sought after by those aiming for a cleaner diet. The inclusion of oils such as sesame oil and canola oil, which are considered harmful in this scoring system, contribute to the product’s low rating.

The English muffin contains unbleached wheat flour, cultured wheat flour, and various other ingredients, some of which are processed, like wheat gluten and soy lecithin. The plant-based sausage patty is primarily composed of pea protein and canola oil, with additional spices and flavorings. Just Egg™, a substitute made from mung bean protein and other ingredients, along with Chao Creamery Creamy Original Cheese, which includes coconut oil and modified starches, complete the sandwich.

The product does not meet the criteria for those seeking the highest standards in clean and healthy eating. It contains multiple ingredients that fall short of the expectations for minimally processed and natural foods. For individuals prioritizing a diet based on organic, non-GMO, and additive-free foods, this Field Roast sandwich would not be a recommended option. Its low green leaf rating reflects a composition that is in stark contrast to the cleaner, more wholesome alternatives available in the market.
