Summary
This product is primarily composed of corn with rapeseed oil as a secondary ingredient. While corn is a whole food, the use of rapeseed oil, a seed oil, is a concern due to its high omega-6 fatty acid content and the typical processing methods that can degrade its nutritional quality. The product's processing level is moderate, which limits its score despite the relatively simple ingredient list.
