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.

TBHQ (Tertiary Butylhydroquinone)

A petroleum-based preservative found in crackers and nuggets. High doses have been linked to stomach tumors and DNA damage in animal studies.

Moderate Caution

Palm Oil

A vegetable fat high in saturated fatty acids. Its massive production is a primary driver of deforestation, endangering species like orangutans. Refined palm oil may also contain harmful contaminants.

Artificial Flavor

A mixture of chemicals synthesized in a lab to mimic natural tastes. Manufacturers are not required to disclose the specific ingredients used in these proprietary blends.

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.

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.

DATEM

Diacetyl Tartaric Acid Esters of Monoglycerides. A dough conditioner used to strengthen bread structure. Usually derived from GMO soy or palm oil.

Invert Sugar

A syrup mixture of glucose and fructose. Retains moisture better than regular sugar but has the same negative metabolic effects.

Full Ingredients List:

Toasted rice cereal (rice, sugar, salt, malt flavor, niacinamide, reduced iron, vitamin b2 [riboflavin], folic acid), sugar, vegetable oil (soybean and palm oil with tbhq for freshness, hydrogenated palm kernel oil with sorbitan tristearate, palm kernel oil), corn syrup, fructose, chocolate, cocoa processed with alkali, corn syrup solids. contains 2% or less of maltodextrin, invert sugar, vegetable glycerin, nonfat milk, dextrose, whey, gelatin, soy lecithin, natural and artificial flavors, salt, polysorbate 60, acetylated monoglycerides, datem, bht for freshness.

Health Integrity Analysis

Is Rice Krispies Treats Double Chocolatey Chunk 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 5/100, here is the deep dive into what you are actually eating.

⚠️ 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.

The Sugar Reality Check

This product contains 40g of sugar per 100g. To put that into perspective, that's equivalent to eating roughly 10 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, Rice Krispies Treats Double Chocolatey Chunk achieves a CakeID Score of 5/100.

Treat Only: Due to the low score, we recommend enjoying this only as an occasional treat rather than a dietary staple.

Health Recommendations

Sugar Spike

High sugar may cause energy crashes.
