Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Jimmy Dean Loaded Sausage Bites: Sausage, Egg, and Cheese is a product that falls short of cleaner food standards. This product is not organic, nor does it use non-GMO ingredients, which results in a lower rating on our scale. The inclusion of added sugars such as sugar and citric acid, along with more concerning sweeteners like dextrose and sorbitol, further detracts from its score. The presence of potentially harmful additives, including natural flavors and various preservatives like potassium sorbate and sodium citrate, also impacts the product negatively.
The food item contains monosodium glutamate (MSG), a known harmful additive, which significantly affects its rating. Additionally, the use of soybean oil, categorized as a harmful oil, contributes to the low score. The product’s composition reflects a combination of ingredients that do not align with our criteria for cleaner, healthier food options.
The Jimmy Dean Loaded Sausage Bites also feature processed elements such as enzyme modified cheddar cheese, powdered cellulose to prevent caking, and texturized soy protein concentrate. The scrambled eggs in the product are pre-cooked with preservatives and stabilizers like xanthan gum, which are viewed as detrimental to our standards for clean eating.
Taking into account the product’s non-organic status, GMO ingredients, added sugars, potentially harmful additives, known harmful additives, and harmful oils, it becomes clear why the Jimmy Dean Loaded Sausage Bites receive the lowest possible rating on our green leaf scale. Consumers seeking cleaner and healthier food choices are advised to steer clear of this product due to its composition and the presence of numerous ingredients that do not meet our criteria for a healthy diet.
