Ingredient Score:
Awarded a 3/5 green leaves rating, the Starbucks American Menu Everything Bagel offers a middle-of-the-road option for those seeking cleaner food choices. This product does not feature organic ingredients, nor does it avoid genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which has impacted its rating on our scale. The presence of added sugar and certain additives, namely enriched flour and monoglycerides, further detracts from its overall score.
The bagel’s primary ingredient, unbleached enriched flour, includes several vitamins and minerals, such as niacin, reduced iron, and folic acid, which are standard in fortified bread products. The dough also contains malted barley flour, contributing a subtle flavor. Water and sugar are listed next, indicating the bagel’s basic composition, with sugar being a point of concern due to its addition to the product.
Sesame seeds, dehydrated onion, and dehydrated garlic give the bagel its characteristic ‘everything’ topping, while wheat gluten and yeast are essential for the bagel’s structure and rise. The inclusion of toasted chopped onion and poppy seeds adds to the texture and appearance. Distilled vinegar and guar gum serve as stabilizers, and ascorbic acid is a common dough conditioner. The enzymes and monoglycerides, which may act as emulsifiers, are where the product loses further marks due to potential health concerns.
This Starbucks Everything Bagel aligns with a consumer base that prioritizes convenience and accessibility, but it does not fully meet the criteria for those who are vigilant about clean eating. While the bagel does not boast an organic label or a non-GMO certification, it remains a choice for those who are not strictly limiting such ingredients in their diet. This product stands as a compromise between the indulgence of a quick, on-the-go snack and the pursuit of healthier, cleaner food options.
