Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Field Roast Signature Stadium Dog is a product that our evaluation process deems as having significant room for improvement in terms of health and cleanliness. This plant-based hot dog alternative is not organic, which immediately reduces its standing on our scale. Further scrutiny of its ingredients list reveals the inclusion of added sugars, specifically cane sugar, which detracts from its score due to the negative health impacts associated with excessive sugar consumption.
The product also contains several additives. Carrageenan, a thickening agent, is present and is flagged for its potential adverse health effects. Similarly, ‘natural flavor’ is a vague term that may encompass a range of substances, not all of which may align with cleaner food standards. Xanthan gum, another thickening agent, raises concerns for its necessity and potential health implications. These ingredients contribute to the product’s low rating.
Moreover, the use of canola oil is another point of contention. While it is a common ingredient in many processed foods, there are debates regarding its healthfulness, particularly when it is not expeller-pressed or non-GMO, which leads to further deductions in our scoring system.
Despite the Field Roast Signature Stadium Dog being a plant-based option that might appeal to those seeking alternatives to traditional meat products, the concerns highlighted by our scoring criteria suggest that this product does not align with the cleaner, healthier food options that our website advocates for. The presence of non-organic ingredients, added sugars, and several potentially harmful additives outweigh the benefits of its plant-based protein sources such as pea protein and vital wheat gluten.
Consumers seeking the cleanest food products might consider looking for alternatives that boast organic certification, lack added sugars, and do not contain the additives that have impacted the Field Roast Signature Stadium Dog’s score so adversely. Our green leaf rating system is designed to guide consumers toward the healthiest choices, and unfortunately, this product falls short of our standards.
