Ingredient Score:
Green Leaf Rating: 1/5
The Keebler Grasshopper® Cookies receive our lowest green leaf rating, indicating that they are among the least recommended products for consumers seeking cleaner food options. The cookies are not organic, and they are not made with non-GMO ingredients. They contain added sugars, which is a concern for those monitoring their sugar intake.
Further scrutiny reveals the presence of various ingredients that raise red flags. The product includes artificial flavors and TBHQ (tertiary butylhydroquinone), a preservative that extends shelf life. These components are considered potentially harmful and contribute significantly to the product’s low score. Enriched flour, which has been fortified with certain nutrients, and soy lecithin, an emulsifier, are also on our list of ingredients to watch out for due to their processed nature.
The use of vegetable oils, including palm oil, is another concern. These oils are often highly processed and may contribute to environmental issues due to the impact of palm oil cultivation on deforestation and habitat destruction.
The product’s formulation includes artificial flavoring, which is a critical issue. Artificial flavors are synthetic compounds created to mimic natural flavors, and their inclusion is a serious detriment to the product’s overall rating.
The Keebler Grasshopper® Cookies, with a green leaf rating of 1/5, represent a choice that does not align with the pursuit of cleaner, healthier food options. The ingredients list and the production methods used in creating this product do not meet the standards set for those who prioritize health and environmental sustainability in their food selections. Consumers are advised to consider alternative products that better align with the values of clean eating and responsible consumption.
