- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Field Roast Sweet Chile BBQ Bites face significant deductions for their non-organic nature and the inclusion of various ingredients that raise health concerns. This product is not organic, which immediately impacts its standing. It also contains genetically modified ingredients. The presence of added sugars, including brown sugar and sugar, further reduces its score, while the inclusion of dextrose—a form of added sugar with potentially more detrimental health effects—worsens the situation.
The product incorporates several additives such as natural flavors and enriched wheat flour, which are considered potentially harmful. Malic acid and corn starch also contribute to the deductions. Maltodextrin, categorized as a known harmful additive, is particularly concerning due to its high glycemic index and possible health implications. Canola oil, used in the product, is another ingredient that is often processed and may pose health risks, which is why it negatively affects the overall score.
The ingredients list of the Field Roast Sweet Chile BBQ Bites includes water, canola oil, pea protein, wheat gluten, fava bean protein, tapioca starch, and methylcellulose, among others. The breading contains enriched wheat flour, sugar, and various spices, with partial frying in canola oil. Despite the product using non-GMO ingredients, the negatives outweigh this aspect in terms of our health-focused evaluation.
The product’s low green leaf rating signals a recommendation to avoid it, based on the criteria set by the reviewing website. The focus is on providing cleaner food options, and this item does not meet the standards established to guide consumers towards healthier choices. The extensive list of ingredients, many of which have been flagged for their potential health risks, justifies the low score and aligns with the goal of promoting a market for cleaner and healthier food products.
