Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Starbucks American Menu Bacon, Sausage & Egg Wrap falls short of cleaner food standards. The wrap is not organic, includes genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and contains added sugars, which detract from its healthfulness. The presence of potentially harmful additives such as flavorings, diglycerides, enriched wheat flour, and xanthan gum further diminish its score. Notably, it contains sodium nitrite, a known harmful additive associated with health risks. The use of soybean oil, a harmful oil, also impacts the wrap’s rating negatively.
The product comprises a tortilla filled with cage-free scrambled eggs, cooked potatoes, whipped cream cheese, cheddar cheese, sausage crumble with breakfast-style seasoning, and smoked bacon. The tortilla itself contains enriched wheat flour and hydrogenated oils, which are less desirable for those seeking cleaner eating options. The eggs have additives such as modified food starch and liquid pepper extract. The whipped cream cheese and cheddar cheese include preservatives and stabilizers, such as natamycin and modified food starch.
The sausage and bacon are sources of added flavors and preservatives like sodium nitrite, which are concerning for their potential health implications. Furthermore, the inclusion of non-organic potatoes and cheeses suggests the presence of pesticides and other chemicals commonly used in conventional farming.
The wrap’s overall composition reflects a reliance on processed ingredients and additives that are at odds with a diet focused on natural, wholesome foods. The product does not align with the goal of offering cleaner food options, as evidenced by its low green leaf rating. It is advisable for health-conscious consumers to consider alternative options that prioritize organic ingredients, fewer additives, and the absence of GMOs to align with a cleaner eating lifestyle.
