Tillamook

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Tillamook Sea Salt & Honeycomb Toffee is a product that, according to our standards, falls short in providing a clean food option. The absence of organic ingredients, coupled with the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), significantly impacts its rating. The inclusion of multiple forms of added sugars—specifically brown sugar and white sugar—further detracts from its score, while the presence of high fructose corn syrup and tapioca syrup, both considered more harmful types of added sugars, exacerbates the issue.

The product also contains ingredients such as natural flavors and coconut oil, which are flagged for potential health concerns. These components contribute to the overall low evaluation of the item. The use of locust bean gum and guar gum, common thickeners or stabilizers in the food industry, along with baking soda and salt, complete the ingredient list.

The Tillamook Sea Salt & Honeycomb Toffee’s score reflects a stance to recommend avoidance due to its composition. The product is not organic, includes GMOs, and features a range of added sugars and additives that are deemed unhealthy in our assessment criteria. This evaluation aligns with the goal of guiding consumers towards cleaner, more wholesome food choices amidst a market saturated with products that do not meet these criteria.

For individuals seeking healthier alternatives, this particular treat is not aligned with the pursuit of a clean-eating lifestyle. As such, the product’s low green leaf rating serves as a clear indicator of its position relative to healthier food options. Those looking for confections that align with a diet focused on health and wellness may need to consider other products that better meet these standards.
