Rating: Not Clean
- 2 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 2 out of 5 green leaves, the Seattle Chocolate Malted Milk Ball Chocolate Truffles fall short of our clean food standards. This product is not organic, which immediately reduces its standing on our scale. While it does use non-GMO ingredients, a commendable choice, there are several other factors that impact its score negatively.
The presence of added sugars is a significant concern. Cane sugar, found in the milk chocolate and malt crunch, contributes to the product’s lower rating. Furthermore, the use of cane sugar as a distinct, more harmful added sugar leads to an additional deduction. This reflects our commitment to highlighting products that minimize unnecessary sweeteners that could impact a consumer’s health.
Another critical issue is the inclusion of potentially harmful additives. The enriched wheat flour and soya lecithin present in the product are considered less desirable ingredients. Enriched wheat flour, although a common ingredient, has gone through processing that strips away some of the grain’s natural nutrients. Soya lecithin, used as an emulsifier, also raises concerns due to its processing and potential allergenic properties.
The product’s ingredients list reveals a reliance on processed elements rather than whole, natural options. The non-hydrogenated coconut oil and sea salt are less problematic ingredients, but they do not offset the negative aspects of the other components.
The Seattle Chocolate Malted Milk Ball Chocolate Truffles earn a low green leaf rating due to these factors. While the product may appeal to those not strictly focused on clean eating, it does not meet the criteria for those seeking healthier, cleaner food options. The use of non-organic ingredients, added sugars, and potentially harmful additives weigh heavily against it. For a better rating, the product would need to incorporate organic ingredients, reduce added sugars, and eliminate the use of additives that are considered less beneficial for health.
