Ingredient Decoder
Moderate Caution
Soybean Oil
A ubiquitous vegetable oil high in Omega-6 fatty acids. Excessive consumption of Omega-6s without balancing Omega-3s can promote systemic inflammation in the body.
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.
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.
Cottonseed Oil
Derived from cotton crops which are heavily sprayed with pesticides (since cotton is not a food crop). Often contains higher pesticide residues than other oils.
Corn Oil
Highly refined oil rich in Omega-6. Usually derived from GMO corn. Promotes inflammation if consumed in excess.
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.

Health Integrity Analysis
CakeID Lab's full nutritional teardown of H-E-B. Read this comprehensive breakdown before you decide to add it to your cart. Scoring 45/100 on the CakeID index, we highlight the pros and cons below.
⚠️ Moderate Caution
While free from the most dangerous additives, we detected Soybean Oil. A ubiquitous vegetable oil high in Omega-6 fatty acids. Excessive consumption of Omega-6s without balancing Omega-3s can promote systemic inflammation in the body. It is generally safe in small amounts but worth noting for sensitive diets.
Nutritional Balance
With only 4g of sugar, this product maintains a balanced profile. It avoids the excessive sweetness of typical processed foods while providing 7g of protein.
Keto & Diet Matchmaker
For those following a strict Keto diet, H-E-B is highly problematic. A standard Keto diet restricts carbs to about 20g per day. Just 100g of this product contains 57g of carbohydrates, which instantly consumes roughly 285% of your entire daily allowance.
Final Verdict
Taking into account the macro-nutrient balance, additive risks, and caloric density, H-E-B achieves a CakeID Score of 45/100.
