Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Tillamook Bing Cherry Cheesecake represents a choice that aligns poorly with the mission of promoting cleaner food options. This product falls short in several key areas that are crucial for a positive rating on our website.
Firstly, the cheesecake is not organic, which is a primary consideration for those seeking cleaner, more natural food products. Its non-organic status is a significant factor in its low score. Additionally, the product does not use non-GMO ingredients, further detracting from its potential to be a healthier option in the market.
The presence of added sugars, including brown sugar and sugar, raises concerns about the healthfulness of this dessert. More concerning is the inclusion of tapioca syrup, which is considered a more harmful type of added sugar due to its high fructose content and potential negative impact on blood sugar levels.
Beyond sugars, the Tillamook Bing Cherry Cheesecake contains a range of additives that our scoring system identifies as potentially harmful. These include natural flavors and xanthan gum, ingredients that are often scrutinized for their vague definitions and potential health implications. While these additives are approved for use and are common in many processed foods, their presence is at odds with the goal of providing cleaner food alternatives.
Furthermore, the product contains unenriched wheat flour, which has not been fortified with additional nutrients, unlike enriched flour. This choice of ingredient may reduce the overall nutritional profile of the cheesecake.
The Tillamook Bing Cherry Cheesecake’s low green leaf rating reflects its composition of ingredients that do not meet the criteria for a cleaner, healthier food option. As such, it is advised to consider alternative products that better align with the values of consuming wholesome, minimally processed foods with transparent, health-conscious ingredient lists.
