Summary

This product contains expeller pressed oils such as sunflower, safflower, and/or canola, which are high in omega-6 fatty acids and can promote inflammation when consumed in excess. Despite being a processed food, it lacks artificial additives and dyes, which is a positive aspect. However, the presence of seed oils significantly impacts its health rating, and the processing level further limits its score.

Key ingredients 2

Expeller pressed oil
Very Bad

Expeller pressed oil includes sunflower, safflower, and/or canola oil, which are high in omega-6 fatty acids. These oils are considered unhealthy due to their potential to promote inflammation when consumed in excess. The processing method is less harmful than chemical extraction but does not mitigate the health concerns associated with seed oils.

Risks

High omega-6 content may promote inflammation and contribute to an imbalance in the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio.
