Ingredient Score:
Awarded a 1/5 green leaf rating, the Hillshire Farm Oven Roasted Turkey & Honey Ham Variety Pack falls short of the clean food standards set by our website. This pre-packaged meat selection fails to meet the criteria for a healthier food choice due to several concerning factors in its ingredients list.
The variety pack is not organic, contributing to its low score. It also includes ingredients that are not verified as non-GMO, detracting further from its rating. The presence of added sugars, specifically sugar and citric acid in the honey ham, raises red flags about its nutritional value. More alarmingly, the inclusion of dextrose, a form of sugar that is considered more harmful, significantly impacts the product’s standing.
Additionally, the product contains additives such as natural flavorings and sodium phosphate. The term “natural flavor” is problematic because it lacks transparency regarding its source and composition. The most critical ingredient in terms of health concerns is carrageenan, which has been linked to digestive issues and inflammation. Its presence in the turkey breast is the primary reason for the substantial deduction in the product’s score.
The Hillshire Farm Oven Roasted Turkey & Honey Ham Variety Pack is not recommended for those seeking cleaner, healthier food options. The combination of non-organic ingredients, GMOs, added sugars, and harmful additives such as carrageenan positions this product at the lowest end of our rating scale. Consumers are advised to consider alternative products that adhere to stricter standards for health and transparency.
