Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1 out of 5 green leaves, the Tillamook Blackberry Cobbler has earned the lowest score on our clean food scale. This rating reflects the product’s composition, which includes a range of non-organic ingredients and the presence of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Furthermore, the inclusion of added sugars, such as sugar and citric acid, alongside the more concerning tapioca syrup, significantly detracts from its standing as a cleaner food option. The product also contains what are considered potentially harmful additives, including unspecified natural flavors and enriched flour. The presence of palm oil, an ingredient often associated with environmental and health concerns, further impacts the product’s score negatively.
The Tillamook Blackberry Cobbler is not organic, and its use of non-GMO ingredients has not been verified, resulting in an immediate reduction in its clean food rating. The added sugars, particularly the high-fructose tapioca syrup, contribute negatively to the nutritional profile of the dessert. The term “natural flavor” is broad and can encompass a variety of substances not detailed on the label, which raises questions about their origins and effects. Enriched flour, while common in processed foods, lacks the nutritional value of whole grain alternatives.
Moreover, the use of palm oil is a contentious issue. Palm oil production has been linked to deforestation, habitat destruction, and other environmental issues, as well as concerns over saturated fat content. These factors are important for consumers who prioritize environmentally sustainable and health-conscious food choices.
The evaluation of the Tillamook Blackberry Cobbler highlights the importance of transparency and the use of healthful, environmentally friendly ingredients in food products. Given the concerns raised by its ingredient list, this product falls short of the standards for cleaner food options set by our website. Consumers seeking healthier alternatives are advised to consider other products that better align with the values of organic farming, non-GMO ingredients, and the absence of harmful additives and oils.
