Summary
The product contains organic stone ground white corn, which is a beneficial whole grain ingredient, and the organic certification ensures it is free from synthetic pesticides and GMOs. However, the use of organic expeller pressed vegetable oils, such as sunflower, safflower, and canola, introduces a high omega-6 fatty acid content, which can promote inflammation if consumed excessively. The product is moderately processed, which limits its score despite the clean ingredient list.
