Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Morningstar Farms Hot And Spicy Crispy Chik’n Filet is a product that raises concerns for those seeking cleaner food options. This meat alternative is not organic, and it includes genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which detracts from its clean food status. Additionally, the ingredient list reveals the presence of added sugars, which are often discouraged in a health-conscious diet.
The product also contains a range of additives. Among them, ‘Natural Flavors’ and ‘Flavor’ stand out as potentially harmful, with ‘Xanthan Gum’ also drawing scrutiny. More concerning, however, is the inclusion of ‘Maltodextrin’, which is recognized as a known harmful additive. The presence of these ingredients suggests a compromise in the product’s purity and potential health benefits.
Furthermore, the product incorporates oils such as Canola and unspecified Vegetable Oil, both of which are flagged for their potential negative health implications. These oils are often processed and may not align with the criteria for cleaner, more natural food products.
The Morningstar Farms Hot And Spicy Crispy Chik’n Filet’s ingredient profile, with its non-organic status, GMO ingredients, added sugars, and questionable additives and oils, does not align with the standards set for cleaner, healthier food options. The product’s low green leaf rating reflects these concerns and indicates that it falls short of the expectations for those seeking healthier, more natural alternatives in their diet. Consumers looking for clean food products are advised to consider other options that better meet the criteria for health and transparency in ingredients.
