Ingredient Decoder

Moderate Caution

Sunflower Oil

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

Safflower Oil

Similar to sunflower oil. Industrial processing often involves high heat and chemical solvents.

Enriched Flour

Refined flour with synthetic vitamins added back in. Acts like pure sugar in the body, spiking insulin.

Health Integrity Analysis

Is Dark Chocolate covered Honey Grahams with Sea Salt 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 40/100, here is the deep dive into what you are actually eating.

⚠️ Moderate Caution

While free from the most dangerous additives, we detected Sunflower Oil. Often perceived as healthy, but high-oleic versions are better. Standard sunflower oil is very high in inflammatory Omega-6s. It is generally safe in small amounts but worth noting for sensitive diets.

The Sugar Reality Check

This product contains 37g of sugar per 100g. To put that into perspective, that's equivalent to eating roughly 9 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, Dark Chocolate covered Honey Grahams with Sea Salt achieves a CakeID Score of 40/100.

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

Health Recommendations

Sodium Watch

Contains 1.9g salt/100g. Drink water.

Sugar Spike

High sugar may cause energy crashes.

Gut Health
