Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the ToastChee Reduced Fat Peanut Butter cracker presents a selection that falls short on our health-focused criteria. This product is not organic and contains genetically modified ingredients. The presence of added sugars, including sugar, dextrose, and corn syrup, contributes to its low rating. Furthermore, it has a range of potentially harmful additives, such as enriched flour, soy lecithin, and ammonium bicarbonate, which detract from its overall score. The inclusion of Yellow 6, a known harmful additive, further diminishes its standing. Additionally, the use of various oils like canola, soybean, and palm oil, which are considered harmful in our evaluation, impacts the product’s cleanliness.
Breaking down the ingredients list, the enriched flour serves as the base for these crackers, while peanut butter provides the primary flavor. Sugar and other sweeteners like dextrose and corn syrup are used to enhance taste. A mix of oils, including soybean and palm, contribute to the texture but raise concerns due to their processing methods and health implications. Salt and leavening agents ensure the crackers’ rise and texture. Soy lecithin acts as an emulsifier, while Yellow 6 is used as a colorant, despite its negative health associations. Lastly, deproteinized dairy whey and cheddar cheese are included for their contribution to the product’s savory profile.
This product does not align with the goal of offering cleaner food options. The use of non-organic, GMO ingredients, added sugars, potentially harmful additives, and harmful oils places it at the bottom of our rating scale. Therefore, we recommend consumers looking for healthier alternatives steer clear of this product. The ToastChee Reduced Fat Peanut Butter cracker’s low green leaf rating reflects its position as a less desirable choice for those seeking cleaner, more wholesome snack options.
