Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
The Primo Taglio Mozzarella Cheese & Pepperoni earns a rating of 1/5 green leaves, signaling a product with numerous concerns regarding its ingredients. This rating, the lowest on our scale, advises consumers to consider alternative choices.
This product is not organic, a significant factor in its evaluation. Furthermore, the ingredients include genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which many consumers aim to avoid. The presence of added sugars, specifically noted in the pepperoni component, contributes to the low score. Additionally, the product contains natural flavors and palm-related oils, which are flagged as potentially harmful additives and oils in our assessment criteria.
The ingredient list reveals the use of soybean oil, sunflower oil, and coconut and/or palm kernel oil, which are considered less desirable due to various health and environmental concerns associated with their production and consumption. Moreover, the generic term “flavor” is often a placeholder for a mix of undisclosed components, which lacks transparency for those seeking clean food options.
Given these findings, the Primo Taglio Mozzarella Cheese & Pepperoni is positioned at the bottom of our recommended options. Consumers seeking cleaner, more wholesome food products might find this particular item does not align with their preferences for organic, non-GMO, and additive-free foods. Our evaluation process is rigorous and aims to highlight products that meet a higher standard of health and environmental responsibility. This product falls short of those standards, hence the low green leaf rating. Those interested in cleaner eating are encouraged to explore alternatives that better meet the criteria for a healthier and more sustainable diet.
