Ingredient Score:
This product earns a rating of 1/5 green leaves. The Tillamook Oregon Strawberry Shortcake Salted Caramel is a food item that our evaluation deems to be at the bottom of the scale for cleaner food options. It is not organic, which directly leads to a lower score, as the presence of organic ingredients is a significant factor in our assessment. The absence of non-GMO ingredients further impacts the rating negatively.
The inclusion of added sugars, specifically sugar and citric acid, reduces the product’s score. Tapioca syrup, classified under more harmful added sugars, also detracts from the overall rating. The product contains natural flavors, which, due to their unspecified composition, are considered potentially harmful additives in our evaluation criteria. Enriched flour, which has been fortified with additional nutrients, is also viewed as a less desirable ingredient due to the processing involved.
Additionally, the presence of palm oil is seen as a negative aspect. Palm oil production has been linked to environmental concerns, such as deforestation and habitat destruction, which contribute to its unfavorable scoring. The use of palm oil, regardless of its form, is treated as a harmful oil in our rating system.
The product’s ingredients list reveals the use of several components that fail to meet the criteria for cleaner food options. The use of non-organic ingredients, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), added sugars, potentially harmful additives, and harmful oils are all factors that contribute to its low green leaf rating.
Consumers seeking cleaner food options are advised to avoid this product based on our assessment. The ingredients and production methods do not align with the standards of health and environmental sustainability that are central to our scoring system. The Tillamook Oregon Strawberry Shortcake Salted Caramel falls short in providing a clean food option within the market.
