Ingredient Decoder

Moderate Caution

Carrageenan

A thickening agent derived from red seaweed. While natural, it has been linked to gastrointestinal inflammation, bloating, and may worsen symptoms of IBS.

Canola Oil

A highly processed industrial oil extracted using hexane solvents, bleached, and deodorized. High in Omega-6s which can promote inflammation if not balanced with Omega-3s.

Enriched Flour

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

Health Integrity Analysis

Is Plant-Based Sweet And Sour P'rk Bites 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 65/100, here is the deep dive into what you are actually eating.

⚠️ Moderate Caution

While free from the most dangerous additives, we detected Carrageenan. A thickening agent derived from red seaweed. While natural, it has been linked to gastrointestinal inflammation, bloating, and may worsen symptoms of IBS. It is generally safe in small amounts but worth noting for sensitive diets.

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, Plant-Based Sweet And Sour P'rk Bites achieves a CakeID Score of 65/100.

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.
