Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Hood South Shore Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough fails to meet the criteria for cleaner food options that our website advocates for. This product is not organic, which detracts significantly from its standing in our scoring system. Furthermore, the absence of non-GMO ingredients contributes to its low rating.
The presence of multiple types of added sugars, including molasses, brown sugar, and granulated sugar, raises concerns regarding its nutritional value. The inclusion of corn syrup, a more harmful added sugar due to its high fructose content, further diminishes the product’s score. The detrimental impact of these sugars on health is well-documented, contributing to obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
Beyond sugars, the product contains several potentially harmful additives. Natural flavors, whose composition is not fully disclosed, along with diglycerides, enriched wheat flour, and soy lecithin, are flagged as contentious ingredients. The use of artificial flavors and diglycerides, often used to extend shelf life and improve texture, may pose health risks with long-term consumption.
The product also incorporates oils that are considered harmful. Soybean oil and palm oil are included in its formulation. These oils are often processed and may contain trans fats, which are linked to negative health outcomes.
The scoring system employed by our website reflects a commitment to promoting foods that align with a healthier lifestyle. The Hood South Shore Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough’s ingredients do not support this mission. The product lacks the attributes of a clean, wholesome food option due to its non-organic status, GMO content, and assortment of additives and sugars. Consumers seeking healthier alternatives are advised to consider other options that align more closely with the principles of clean eating.
