Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Morningstar Farms Veggie Breakfast Sausage Links receive the lowest possible score on our scale for cleaner food options. This product is not organic and contains genetically modified ingredients, factors that significantly impact its rating. Additionally, the inclusion of added sugars and a variety of potentially harmful additives further detract from its score. Among these are natural and artificial flavors, xanthan gum, caramel color, and pyridoxine hydrochloride.
The presence of known harmful additives such as artificial flavors, caramel color, and maltodextrin contribute to the product’s low rating. These ingredients are often scrutinized for their potential health impacts. Moreover, the sausage links contain several types of oils that are deemed harmful, including sesame oil, canola oil, soybean oil, and corn oil. High fructose corn syrup, listed under artificial flavors, is another ingredient that carries a negative connotation due to its association with various health issues, though it should be noted that high fructose corn syrup is not actually present in the ingredients list provided.
The product’s composition raises concerns for those seeking healthier, cleaner food alternatives. It falls short of the standards set by our website for promoting a healthier lifestyle through better food choices. The list of ingredients suggests a product that is far removed from the minimally processed, wholesome foods that are preferable for a clean diet.
The Morningstar Farms Veggie Breakfast Sausage Links, with their low green leaf rating, illustrate a product that is less than ideal for consumers aiming to avoid additives and genetically modified ingredients. The emphasis on cleaner, more natural food products is paramount for our website, and unfortunately, this product does not align with those values.
