Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
This product earns a 1/5 green leaves rating. The Jimmy Dean Plant-Based Patty, Egg White & Cheese Croissant is not organic and contains genetically modified (GMO) ingredients. It includes added sugars such as sugar, citric acid, and fructose, alongside dextrose and high fructose corn syrup, which are more harmful forms of sugar. The presence of potentially harmful additives such as natural and artificial flavors, diglycerides, soy lecithin, xanthan gum, potassium sorbate, sodium citrate, caramel color, corn starch, and known harmful additives like artificial flavor, caramel color, sodium benzoate, maltodextrin, and monosodium glutamate further reduce its rating.
Moreover, the product contains oils like soybean oil, vegetable oil, and palm oil, which are considered harmful. The inclusion of high fructose corn syrup and artificial flavors are significant detractors from the product’s overall healthfulness. The croissant is made with enriched bleached wheat flour and contains preservatives that extend shelf life but may not align with cleaner food standards.
The fully cooked plant-based patty lists coconut oil and textured soy protein among its ingredients, while the egg patty includes whole eggs and nonfat milk, modified with corn starch and artificial butter flavor. The pasteurized process American cheese adds dairy to the mix, along with various additives for preservation, texture, and taste.
The product’s composition reflects a mix of plant-based and animal-derived ingredients, artificial additives, and non-organic components. Its low green leaves rating reflects its position as a less healthy option among cleaner food alternatives. Consumers seeking cleaner, more natural food products are advised to consider alternatives that better align with these values. This product does not meet the criteria for those looking to avoid added sugars, GMOs, artificial flavors, and harmful additives.
