Magic Spoon

The Magic Spoon Peanut Butter has earned a 2/5 green leaf rating, signaling a need for improvement in its ingredients list for a cleaner, healthier product.

The product is non-organic and uses GMO ingredients. These factors negatively impact the product’s score due to our commitment to promoting organic and non-GMO foods. Organic foods are better for our health and the environment, while GMOs have potential health risks that are not fully understood yet. This cereal could be improved by sourcing organic ingredients and ensuring they are non-GMO.

A concerning aspect of the product is its use of added sugars, specifically allulose. While allulose is a low-calorie sweetener, it is still an added sugar, which can lead to health problems when consumed in excess. A healthier option would be to use natural sweeteners or reduce the overall sweetness of the product.

The product also contains potentially harmful additives, namely “natural flavor”. The term “natural flavor” is a vague term that can encompass a wide range of chemical compounds, some of which may be harmful. It would be better if the company provided more transparency about what these flavors are or used whole food ingredients for flavoring.

Lastly, the product uses peanut oil, which is a harmful oil. While peanut oil can withstand high cooking temperatures, it is high in omega-6 fatty acids, which can contribute to inflammation when consumed in large amounts. A healthier option would be to use oils that have a better balance of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids, such as olive or avocado oil.

Overall, while the Magic Spoon Peanut Butter may be a convenient breakfast option, its ingredients list leaves much to be desired. For it to be a truly healthy and clean product, the company needs to make several changes: use organic and non-GMO ingredients, reduce added sugars, provide transparency about flavorings, and use healthier oils.
