Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
The Taco Bell Cinnabon Delights earn a green leaf rating of 1/5 on our website, indicating a product that falls short of our criteria for cleaner food options. This item is not organic and includes genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, which deducts from its overall score. The presence of added sugars, specifically the inclusion of corn syrup, further reduces its rating, as these are ingredients we prioritize minimizing in a healthier diet.
Additionally, the product contains several potentially harmful additives. These include natural flavors and potassium sorbate, which are often seen as undesirable in clean eating circles. The enriched wheat flour also contributes to the reduction in score, as it is a processed form of wheat that lacks many nutrients found in whole grain alternatives.
The oils used in the product – canola, soybean, and palm – are considered harmful in our assessment. These oils are often highly processed and may have negative health implications, thus affecting the product’s score negatively.
The Taco Bell Cinnabon Delights also fall short due to non-cage-free eggs, which reflects poorly on animal welfare practices. The use of animal products that do not meet higher ethical sourcing standards impacts the product’s standing on our site.
This product, with its multitude of concerns from a clean eating perspective, warrants the lowest possible score we offer. We recommend that consumers seeking healthier, cleaner food options avoid this product and opt for alternatives that better align with the principles of organic ingredients, absence of GMOs, reduced added sugars, and the elimination of potentially harmful additives and oils. The Taco Bell Cinnabon Delights, with a 1/5 green leaf rating, fails to meet the standards for a clean and health-conscious choice.
