- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Awarded a rating of 1/5 green leaves, the Pringles Philly Cheesesteak Crisps fall significantly short of the health standards set by our website. This product is not organic, contains GMOs, added sugars, potentially harmful additives, known harmful additives, and harmful oils.
The ingredient list begins with dried potatoes and includes various types of vegetable oil, such as corn and high oleic soybean. These oils are often highly processed and may contribute to inflammation. The crisps also contain degerminated yellow corn flour, cornstarch, and rice flour, which are refined carbohydrates. Maltodextrin, found in the ingredients, is a processed sugar that can spike blood sugar levels.
Mono- and diglycerides are present as well, which can be synthetically derived and may be a source of unhealthy trans fats. The flavor profile is constructed with a combination of salt, sugar, onion powder, and both natural and artificial flavors. The inclusion of monosodium glutamate (MSG) is noteworthy as it is a flavor enhancer that has been linked to various health concerns, despite its widespread use in the food industry.
Furthermore, the crisps contain additives like disodium inosinate and disodium guanylate, which are often used in conjunction with MSG to enhance flavor. The coloring agents used include paprika extract, annatto, and turmeric, which, while natural, are unnecessary additives.
The cheese elements include cheddar cheese and whey, which contribute to the product’s savory taste but also add to the calorie and fat content. Additionally, the product is not free from allergens as it contains wheat starch, which is unsuitable for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
The Pringles Philly Cheesesteak Crisps are not aligned with our mission of promoting cleaner food options. The extensive use of additives, non-organic ingredients, GMOs, and processed components overshadow the potential convenience of this snack. As a result, we recommend consumers seek out healthier alternatives that better adhere to a clean-eating philosophy.
