Rating: Not Clean
- 2 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rating: 2/5 Green Leaves
The Sweet Earth Foods Peruvian Burrito has achieved a 2/5 green leaf rating on our scale, reflecting a product that has significant room for improvement in terms of offering a cleaner food option. The burrito is not organic, which detracts from its cleanliness score. Furthermore, despite some ingredients being non-GMO, the product as a whole does not fully commit to non-GMO ingredients, resulting in additional deductions.
The ingredient list reveals the presence of added sugars, specifically in the form of sugar cane fiber and citric acid, both of which contribute to a lower score. Additionally, the use of canola oil, even though it is non-GMO expeller pressed, is considered a less desirable oil choice in the context of cleaner food standards.
The product contains a variety of ingredients, some of which are commendable for being non-GMO, such as the non-GMO soy sauce and sweet corn. The inclusion of whole grains like quinoa and flaxseed is positive, as is the use of traditional seitan, a protein-rich meat substitute. However, the benefits of these ingredients are overshadowed by the aforementioned issues.
The wrap component of the burrito is made with a blend of whole wheat and enriched unbleached flour, with flax seeds added for nutritional value. However, the presence of additives like sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium bicarbonate, and monocalcium phosphate detracts from the product’s natural appeal.
The Sweet Earth Foods Peruvian Burrito has a long way to go to meet the standards of cleaner eating. Despite some positive attributes, the negatives, including non-organic status, added sugars, and the use of certain oils, weigh heavily on its overall score. For consumers seeking the cleanest food options, this product does not stand out as a top choice. It is clear that to achieve a higher green leaf rating, reformulation with a focus on organic, non-GMO, and natural ingredients without additives is necessary.
