Ingredient Decoder

High Risk Additives

Red 40 (Allura Red)

A synthetic petroleum-based dye used to create bright red colors in candy and drinks. It has been linked to hyperactivity and attention issues in sensitive children. Banned in parts of Europe for use in baby food.

Blue 2 (Indigo Carmine)

A petroleum-based blue dye. Animal studies have suggested a link to brain tumors in male rats.

Mono- and Diglycerides

Emulsifiers that can contain small amounts of trans fats, but loophole laws allow foods containing them to be labeled '0g Trans Fat'.

Moderate Caution

Palm Oil

A vegetable fat high in saturated fatty acids. Its massive production is a primary driver of deforestation, endangering species like orangutans. Refined palm oil may also contain harmful contaminants.

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.

BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene)

Often paired with BHA in cereals and snacks. While safer than BHA, studies suggest it may disrupt hormones (endocrine disruptor) and impact thyroid health.

Dextrose

A simple sugar chemically identical to glucose. It absorbs instantly into the bloodstream, causing rapid energy spikes and crashes. Often used as a filler.

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.

Bleached Flour

Flour treated with chemicals like benzoyl peroxide or chlorine gas to make it whiter. Stripped of nutrients.

Full Ingredients List:

enriched bleached flour (wheat flour, niacin, iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), sugar, artificial blueberry bits (dextrose, palm oil, pregelatinized yellow corn flour, citric acid, artificial flavors, blue 2 lake, red 40 lake), dextrose, canola oil, contains 2% or less of: leavening (baking soda, sodium aluminum phosphate), modified corn starch, calcium carbonate, propylene glycol esters of fatty acids, mono and diglycerides, salt, corn starch, sodium stearoyl lactylate, calcium sulfate, niacin, iron, vitamin b6 hydrochloride, bht and citric acid (antioxidants), riboflavin, thiamin mononitrate, vitamin b12,

Health Integrity Analysis

Is BLUEBERRY MUFFIN MIX 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 0/100, here is the deep dive into what you are actually eating.

⚠️ Additive Watch: Critical Flags

The ingredient list reveals the presence of Red 40 (Allura Red). A synthetic petroleum-based dye used to create bright red colors in candy and drinks. It has been linked to hyperactivity and attention issues in sensitive children. Banned in parts of Europe for use in baby food. For health-conscious consumers, this is a significant red flag that lowered the product's overall score.

The Sugar Reality Check

This product contains 41g of sugar per 100g. To put that into perspective, that's equivalent to eating roughly 10 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, BLUEBERRY MUFFIN MIX achieves a CakeID Score of 0/100.

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

Health Recommendations

Sugar Spike

High sugar may cause energy crashes.
