Ingredient Decoder

High Risk Additives

Corn Syrup

A liquid sweetener consisting of essentially pure glucose. It causes rapid spikes in blood sugar levels, contributing to energy crashes and long-term metabolic issues.

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.

BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene)

Often paired with BHA in cereals and snacks. While safer than BHA, studies suggest it may disrupt hormones (endocrine disruptor) and impact thyroid health.

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.

Full Ingredients List:

SUGAR, SALT, GARLIC POWDER, SPICES, ONION POWDER, PAPRIKA, SOYBEAN OIL, SILICON DIOXIDE, DRIED CARROT, MALTODEXTRIN, MUSTARD, DRIED RED BELL PEPPER, DRIED TOMATOES, NATURAL FLAVOR, CITRIC ACID, DRIED ORANGE PEEL, CORN SYRUP SOLIDS, LEMON JUICE POWDER, BHT (PRESERVATIVE)

Health Integrity Analysis

Ever wondered what's really inside Rib rub? We break down the label, macros, and hidden additives so you don't have to. Based on our algorithmic checks, it earns a score of 55/100. Here are the core facts.

⚠️ Additive Watch: Critical Flags

The ingredient list reveals the presence of Corn Syrup. A liquid sweetener consisting of essentially pure glucose. It causes rapid spikes in blood sugar levels, contributing to energy crashes and long-term metabolic issues. For health-conscious consumers, this is a significant red flag that lowered the product's overall score.

Sugar & Metabolic Impact

Impressively, this is a Zero Sugar product. This makes it an excellent candidate for Keto diets, diabetics, or anyone looking to reduce caloric intake without sacrificing flavor.

Keto & Diet Matchmaker

For those following a strict Keto diet, Rib rub is highly problematic. A standard Keto diet restricts carbs to about 20g per day. Just 100g of this product contains 100g of carbohydrates, which instantly consumes roughly 500% of your entire daily allowance.

Final Verdict

Taking into account the macro-nutrient balance, additive risks, and caloric density, Rib rub achieves a CakeID Score of 55/100.

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 25.0g salt/100g. Drink water.
