Field Roast

Rated at 2/5 green leaves, the Field Roast Miniature Corn Dogs are a plant-based snack option that has room for improvement in terms of health and cleanliness. This product is not organic and contains several ingredients that may raise concerns for those seeking cleaner food options.

The Field Roast Miniature Corn Dogs are made with a frankfurter composed of vital wheat gluten, expeller pressed oils, yeast extract, and various spices for flavor, including natural smoke flavor. The batter coating consists of wheat flour, yellow cornmeal, corn starch, and sugars, which are partially fried in expeller pressed canola oil. The inclusion of cane sugar and fructose contributes to the product’s added sugar content, which detracts from its overall healthfulness.

Furthermore, the product contains natural flavors and xanthan gum, which are additives that some consumers may prefer to avoid. The use of expeller pressed safflower oil, canola oil, and particularly palm oil is a notable concern, as these oils are often scrutinized for their potential health impacts and environmental implications.

Despite the product being free from genetically modified organisms (GMOs), the presence of non-organic ingredients and the aforementioned attributes limit the product’s appeal to those striving for a diet centered around clean eating. The Field Roast Miniature Corn Dogs may fit the bill for convenience and plant-based composition, but they fall short in embodying the purity and simplicity that health-conscious consumers might be searching for.

The product’s composition suggests that considerable changes would be necessary to elevate its standing on a scale that prioritizes organic ingredients, minimal processing, and the absence of added sugars and contentious oils. The current 2/5 green leaf rating reflects these areas where the product does not align with the ideals of cleaner, more wholesome food offerings.
