⚠️ Additive Watch: Critical Flags
The ingredient list reveals the presence of Titanium Dioxide. A whitening agent (E171) used in candies and pastries. It has been banned in the EU due to concerns that its nanoparticles could damage DNA (genotoxicity). For health-conscious consumers, this is a significant red flag that lowered the product's overall score.
Nutritional Balance
With only 1g of sugar, this product maintains a balanced profile. It avoids the excessive sweetness of typical processed foods while providing 4g of protein.
Keto & Diet Matchmaker
For those following a strict Keto diet, Dairy-Free Cheddar Mac & Cheese is highly problematic. A standard Keto diet restricts carbs to about 20g per day. Just 100g of this product contains 49g of carbohydrates, which instantly consumes roughly 245% of your entire daily allowance.
Final Verdict
Taking into account the macro-nutrient balance, additive risks, and caloric density, Dairy-Free Cheddar Mac & Cheese achieves a CakeID Score of 70/100.
