Rating: Not Clean
- 2 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 2 out of 5 green leaves, the McCormick® Simply Better Turkey Gravy is a below average option for those seeking cleaner food products. The gravy is not certified organic, a factor that detracts from its overall clean food status. Additionally, it does not boast non-GMO ingredients, which further reduces its appeal to health-conscious consumers.
The ingredient list begins with non organic turkey stock, a base expected in traditional turkey gravy. However, the presence of modified corn starch and potato starch raises concerns due to their processed nature and potential GMO origins. Rice flour serves as a thickening agent and is a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour, which is a positive aspect for those with gluten sensitivities.
The inclusion of natural flavor in the ingredients list is a contentious point. While ‘natural flavor’ may seem innocuous, it is a term that encompasses a variety of substances, some of which may not align with the goals of those seeking cleaner foods. This ambiguity leads to a reduction in the product’s score.
The lack of organic certification, potential GMO ingredients, and the inclusion of ‘natural flavor’ mean that it does not fully embody the ideals of a clean food product.
