Rating: We Avoid

Ingredient Score:

The Tofurky Feast product earns a low rating of 1 out of 5 green leaves. This meal, while being non-GMO, is not organic and is loaded with numerous harmful ingredients that significantly reduce its appeal for those seeking cleaner food options.

The ingredients list for this product reveals a heavy reliance on unhealthy additives. The roast contains potentially harmful substances such as natural flavor, enriched wheat flour, and corn starch. The stuffing is not much better, with the addition of maltodextrin, a known harmful additive. The gravy continues this trend with the inclusion of natural flavors and xanthan gum. The brownie dessert doesn’t escape this pattern; it contains cane sugar and dextrose, two forms of added sugars that are notorious for their harmful effects on health.

Moreover, the product also uses oils that are considered harmful. The roast, stuffing, and brownie all contain canola oil, while the stuffing includes palm oil. Both oils have been associated with health concerns and are not recommended for a clean diet.

The Tofurky Feast also loses points due to its lack of organic status. Organic foods are generally considered cleaner and healthier as they are grown without synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. The absence of organic ingredients in this product is a significant drawback for those seeking healthier food options.

Despite the product being non-GMO, which is a positive aspect, the presence of numerous harmful additives, sugars, and oils, along with the lack of organic ingredients, makes the Tofurky Feast a poor choice for those seeking cleaner and healthier food options. The low rating of 1 out of 5 green leaves reflects these issues and suggests that consumers should avoid this product in favor of healthier alternatives.
