Rating: We Avoid

Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Sweet Earth Foods Salsa Verde Chik’n Burrito does not meet the criteria for healthier food options as outlined by our evaluation system. This product is not organic and includes genetically modified ingredients. The presence of added sugars, including cane sugar and citric acid, further detracts from its rating. The use of potentially harmful additives like natural flavors and soy lecithin, along with oils such as canola and soybean oil that we categorize as harmful, significantly impacts its score.

The Sweet Earth Foods Salsa Verde Chik’n Burrito contains a mix of non-organic tomatillos, plant-based Chik’n, Monterey Jack cheese, poblano chili peppers, brown rice, navy beans, onions, sweet corn, kale, cilantro, garlic, and a wheat and flaxseed tortilla. Despite some ingredients being non-GMO, the overall composition fails to align with the stringent standards for clean eating set by our website.

The product’s ingredient list reveals a reliance on non-organic components, which results in a deduction of points. The use of genetically modified ingredients, while they are non-GMO, still does not align with our non-GMO preference. Added sugars, such as cane sugar, contribute to a lower health score due to their potential negative impact on well-being. Additionally, the inclusion of additives like natural flavors and soy lecithin, which are viewed as potentially harmful, further lowers the product’s standing. Oils like canola and soybean oil, often processed and considered less healthy options, also contribute to the reduced rating.

The Sweet Earth Foods Salsa Verde Chik’n Burrito, with a score reflecting the lowest possible rating on our scale, is not recommended for those seeking cleaner food alternatives. Our assessment focuses on the ingredients and their alignment with a health-conscious diet, emphasizing the importance of organic, non-GMO, and additive-free options. The burrito’s composition does not support our mission to offer cleaner food choices in a market saturated with products that do not promote optimal health.
