Rating: Not Clean

Ingredient Score:
The Lundberg Family Farms Sesame Seaweed Rice Chips receive a rating of 2/5 green leaves on our scale for cleaner food options. This product is a snack offering that aims to combine the natural flavors of sesame and seaweed with the wholesome texture of rice chips. However, upon closer examination of the ingredients and their sourcing, the product falls short of achieving a higher standard for clean eating.
The chips are not fully organic, as indicated by the presence of both organic and non-organic ingredients. This distinction results in a deduction, as our criteria prioritize fully organic products. The use of non-GMO ingredients is a positive aspect, yet it does not fully counterbalance other concerns.
Notably, the product includes added sugars, specifically cane sugar, which is considered less desirable for those seeking a cleaner diet. The presence of added sugars, especially in the form of cane sugar, is a significant drawback, as it moves the product away from the ideal of being free from unnecessary sweeteners.
Moreover, the inclusion of oils such as sesame oil and safflower oil is seen as a negative factor. While these oils may not be inherently harmful, they do not align with the strictest definitions of clean eating, which often favor minimal processing and the avoidance of certain expeller-pressed oils.
The Lundberg Family Farms Sesame Seaweed Rice Chips could benefit from a reformulation that focuses on fully organic ingredients, the elimination of added sugars, and the use of oils that are more in line with the principles of clean eating. Such improvements would likely result in a higher score within our rating system and make the product a more suitable choice for consumers who are deeply committed to consuming cleaner, more healthful food options.
