Summary
This product contains organic whole ground corn, which is a beneficial whole grain ingredient, but it also includes organic sunflower and/or safflower oil, which are high in omega-6 fatty acids and can promote inflammation if consumed excessively. The product is processed, which limits its score, and while it has a relatively clean ingredient list, the presence of seed oils is a notable concern.
