Summary
This product is primarily made from rice flour and whole grain rice flour, which are generally considered healthier options due to their higher fiber content. However, it contains several additives and is moderately processed, which limits its score. The absence of harmful ingredients like seed oils and artificial additives is a positive aspect, but the processing level and presence of multiple additives prevent it from achieving a higher rating.
