This product is made with organic ingredients such as enriched corn and high oleic sunflower oil, which are generally considered healthier options. However, it is a processed food with a moderate level of processing, which limits its score potential. The use of organic high oleic sunflower oil is a positive aspect, but the overall processing level and presence of enriched corn prevent it from achieving a higher rating.
