Rating: Not Clean
- 2 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 33/5 green leaves, the Starbucks American Menu Oleato™ Iced Shaken Espresso with Oatmilk and Toffeenut positions itself as a mid-range option for those seeking cleaner food choices. This product does not boast an organic label, nor does it claim to use non-GMO ingredients, which are factors that detract from its overall green leaf rating. The presence of canola oil, classified as a harmful oil on our scale, further reduces its standing.
The iced espresso drink bases its appeal on a blend of oatmilk and brewed espresso, with an unconventional addition of extra virgin olive oil. The oatmilk component consists of water, oats, canola oil, and less than 2% of various vitamins and minerals. These include dipotassium phosphate, calcium carbonate, tricalcium phosphate, sea salt, dicalcium phosphate, riboflavin, vitamin A, vitamin D2, and vitamin B12. These added nutrients contribute to the nutritional value of the product.
Despite its deficits in organic and non-GMO credentials, the product does offer certain benefits. It is fortified with vitamins and minerals, which are essential for overall health. The use of oatmilk caters to those who are lactose intolerant or seeking plant-based alternatives. Additionally, the inclusion of extra virgin olive oil, a source of monounsaturated fats, is a unique choice that may appeal to health-conscious consumers looking for alternative sources of healthy fats.
However, the healthful aspects of the product are somewhat overshadowed by the use of canola oil. This ingredient often faces scrutiny due to its common processing methods and potential GMO origins. For a product aiming to provide cleaner food options, the choice of canola oil is a significant drawback.
The Starbucks American Menu Oleato™ Iced Shaken Espresso with Oatmilk and Toffeenut emerges as an average choice within the clean eating spectrum. It makes strides with its inclusion of vitamins and plant-based milk but falls short in its lack of organic and non-GMO ingredients, as well as its use of canola oil. For consumers prioritizing cleaner, more natural food options, this product may not fully align with their criteria, yet it still maintains a position away from the bottom of the scale.
