Health Integrity Analysis

Is Marukome Miso Paste 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 70/100, here is the deep dive into what you are actually eating.

✅ Ingredient Quality: Clean Label

A major advantage of Marukome Miso Paste is what it doesn't contain. Our scan found no high-risk synthetic dyes (like Red 40), artificial preservatives, or controversial sweeteners. This "Clean Label" status significantly boosts its health rating.

The Sugar Reality Check

This product contains 13g 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, Marukome Miso Paste achieves a CakeID Score of 70/100.

Consume in Moderation: It's not a health hazard, but it shouldn't be a staple in your daily diet due to its processing level or nutritional density.

Health Recommendations

Sodium Watch

Contains 12.8g salt/100g. Drink water.
