Ingredient Decoder

High Risk Additives

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

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.

Sodium Phosphate

Used in processed meats and cheese to maintain moisture. High intake is dangerous for people with kidney issues and can weaken bones by leaching calcium.

Enriched Flour

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

Full Ingredients List:

Water, enriched flour (wheat flour, niacin, iron, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), potato flakes (potatoes, mono and diglycerides, sodium acid pyrophosphate, citric acid), soybean oil, dehydrated cheddar cheese (cheddar cheese [pasteurized milk, cheese cultures, salt, enzymes], disodium phosphate), salt, onion, natural flavor, eggs, yeast extract, whey, spice, annatto and turmeric (color).

Health Integrity Analysis

Is Pierogies 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 60/100, here is the deep dive into what you are actually eating.

⚠️ Additive Watch: Critical Flags

The ingredient list reveals the presence of 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'. 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 5g of protein.

Final Verdict

Taking into account the macro-nutrient balance, additive risks, and caloric density, Pierogies achieves a CakeID Score of 60/100.

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.
