Ingredient Score:

The ‘Goldfish Colors’ earns a low rating of 2 out of 5 green leaves. This review reveals a product with ingredients that do not meet the standards of clean eating. This product has room for significant improvements to its formulation to elevate its health standards.

Diving into the specifics, ‘Goldfish Colors’ is not an organic product. Organic products are preferred because they avoid the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, which can have negative health effects. This product also uses genetically modified ingredients. GMOs have been linked to several health concerns and their impact on the environment is still a topic of debate.

The product’s sugar content is another area of concern. Added sugars contribute to a variety of health problems, including obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. The inclusion of these sugars in ‘Goldfish Colors’ detracts from its nutritional value.

The presence of enriched wheat flour in the product is also problematic. While the word ‘enriched’ may sound positive, this type of flour is actually stripped of its nutrients during processing and then artificially fortified. The process removes the most nutritious part of the grain, leaving behind a less healthy product.

Lastly, the product contains harmful oils. Canola and vegetable oil are high in omega-6 fatty acids, which may contribute to inflammation when consumed in excess. These oils are often heavily processed and can contain trans fats, which are linked to heart disease.

The ‘Goldfish Colors’ product, with its non-organic ingredients, GMOs, added sugars, potentially harmful additives, and harmful oils, falls short in providing a clean, healthy option for consumers. There is ample room for improvement in its formulation to meet the standards of clean eating. The product’s 2 out of 5 green leaf rating reflects this need for a healthier, cleaner reformulation.
