Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
The KFC Menu Chocolate Chip Cake earns a rating of 1/5 green leaves on our scale, signaling that consumers seeking cleaner food options should avoid it. This product is not organic and contains genetically modified ingredients, which detracts from its overall score. Additionally, the cake is made with a variety of added sugars, including high-fructose corn syrup, which further reduces its rating.
The ingredient list reveals the presence of several potentially harmful additives like natural and artificial flavors, diglycerides, polysorbate 60, soy lecithin, xanthan gum, potassium sorbate, and propylene glycol. Notably, it contains artificial flavors and titanium dioxide, which are considered known harmful additives. The use of soybean oil, a highly processed oil, also contributes to the low score.
The product’s composition reflects a reliance on ingredients that are less desirable for those prioritizing health and wellness. The inclusion of preservatives such as potassium sorbate and sodium propionate extends shelf life but at the cost of purity. Moreover, the presence of modified food starches and interesterified soybean oil suggests a product that is heavily processed.
The cake’s formulation does not align with the values of consumers who are looking for natural, organic, and minimally processed food options. The extensive use of additives and the absence of organic certification are significant factors in the product’s low rating. The score reflects the product’s position at the bottom of our green leaf rating scale, and we advise those seeking healthier alternatives to consider other options that align with a clean-eating philosophy.
