Ingredient Score:
This product earns a rating of 1/5 green leaves, signaling that it falls short of the cleaner food standards set by our review criteria. The ‘Primo Taglio Salame Charcuterie Trio’ is a selection of processed meats, including Soppressata Salame, Peppered Salame, and Italian Dry Salame. It is not organic and does not use non-GMO ingredients, which detracts significantly from its score.
The presence of dextrose, a form of added sugar, further reduces the product’s standing. Added sugars are often associated with negative health impacts when consumed in excess. The trio also contains natural flavorings, which, while not as transparent as specific ingredient listings, are considered potentially harmful additives in this scoring system.
More concerning are the known harmful additives such as sodium nitrate and sodium nitrite found within the product. These preservatives are commonly used in processed meats but have been linked to adverse health effects, prompting their negative impact on the product’s score.
The charcuterie selection is penalized for its composition, which includes multiple ingredients that do not align with the pursuit of cleaner, healthier food options. The 1/5 green leaves rating reflects a strong recommendation to avoid this product based on the standards and values of providing cleaner food choices to consumers. This evaluation is grounded in the specific ingredient content and the absence of organic or non-GMO components, rather than any subjective assessment of taste or flavor.
