Ingredient Decoder

High Risk Additives

High Fructose Corn Syrup

An industrial liquid sweetener made from corn starch. It is chemically different from table sugar and is strongly linked to the obesity epidemic, fatty liver disease, and insulin resistance.

Corn Syrup

A liquid sweetener consisting of essentially pure glucose. It causes rapid spikes in blood sugar levels, contributing to energy crashes and long-term metabolic issues.

Moderate Caution

Artificial Flavor

A mixture of chemicals synthesized in a lab to mimic natural tastes. Manufacturers are not required to disclose the specific ingredients used in these proprietary blends.

Maltodextrin

A highly processed white powder from corn or wheat. It has a higher Glycemic Index than table sugar (spiking insulin rapidly) and can suppress good gut bacteria.

Canola Oil

A highly processed industrial oil extracted using hexane solvents, bleached, and deodorized. High in Omega-6s which can promote inflammation if not balanced with Omega-3s.

Sunflower Oil

Often perceived as healthy, but high-oleic versions are better. Standard sunflower oil is very high in inflammatory Omega-6s.

Health Integrity Analysis

Is Apple & Walnut Salad with Chicken truly good for you, or is it just clever marketing? We analyzed the nutritional density, ingredient safety, and processing levels using the CakeID Algorithm. With a calculated health score of 30/100, here is the deep dive into what you are actually eating.

⚠️ Additive Watch: Critical Flags

The ingredient list reveals the presence of High Fructose Corn Syrup. An industrial liquid sweetener made from corn starch. It is chemically different from table sugar and is strongly linked to the obesity epidemic, fatty liver disease, and insulin resistance. For health-conscious consumers, this is a significant red flag that lowered the product's overall score.

The Sugar Reality Check

This product contains 11g of sugar per 100g. To put that into perspective, that's equivalent to eating roughly 3 sugar cubes directly. While it might taste great, such a high glycemic load can lead to rapid insulin spikes followed by energy crashes.

Final Verdict

Taking into account the macro-nutrient balance, additive risks, and caloric density, Apple & Walnut Salad with Chicken achieves a CakeID Score of 30/100.

Treat Only: Due to the low score, we recommend enjoying this only as an occasional treat rather than a dietary staple.
