Why it scores 34

L'oven Fresh Wraps Spinach Herb scores 34 out of 100 (Poor) under GoodSwap’s published rules. What moved the score most:

  1. Sugar: An added sugar. Strong
  2. Ultra-processed (NOVA 4): Classified NOVA 4: made with industrial ingredients and additives. Strong
  3. Cellulose gum (carboxymethylcellulose): In a small randomized feeding trial, carboxymethylcellulose modestly increased abdominal discomfort and reduced gut microbiota diversity; in mice it promoted low-grade inflammation. Strong

Ingredients

  • Sugar
    Strong An added sugar. [1][2][3]

  • Canola oil
    Emerging High in omega-6 linoleic acid. [9][10][11][12]
