Ingredient Score:
Rated at 3/5 green leaves, the Imagine Foods Organic Ramen Broth positions itself as a middle-of-the-road option for those seeking cleaner food products. This broth is certified organic and non-GMO, appealing to health-conscious consumers who prioritize these attributes in their food choices.
The Imagine Foods Organic Ramen Broth is crafted from filtered water and includes organic flavors, organic tamari soy sauce, organic mirin, organic ginger juice, yeast extract, and organic toasted sesame oil. The use of organic ingredients is a commendable aspect of this product, aligning with the cleaner food options that many consumers are actively seeking out.
However, the product does lose marks for its inclusion of added sugars, specifically in the form of organic sugar within the organic mirin. Added sugars are often scrutinized by health enthusiasts and can detract from the perceived healthfulness of a product. The presence of ‘natural flavors’ and ‘flavors’ also results in deductions, as these are considered potentially harmful additives, lacking transparency and raising questions about their origins and manufacturing processes.
Moreover, the inclusion of organic toasted sesame oil is a point of contention. Although it is organic, sesame oil is categorized under harmful oils by the website’s scoring system. This classification may stem from concerns over the health implications of certain oils when consumed in large quantities or when considering their overall fat composition.
The Imagine Foods Organic Ramen Broth achieves a balance between its commendable use of organic and non-GMO ingredients and the less favorable addition of added sugars and questionable additives. It is an option for those looking for an organic ramen broth but also serves as a reminder to remain vigilant about added sugars and additives even in products that are marketed as organic or health-oriented. The 3/5 green leaves rating reflects this balance, positioning the broth as a moderate choice within the market of health-conscious food products.
