Health Integrity Analysis

Is Tomato & Basil Rice Cakes 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 20/100, here is the deep dive into what you are actually eating.

⚠️ Moderate Caution

While free from the most dangerous additives, we detected 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. It is generally safe in small amounts but worth noting for sensitive diets.

The Sugar Reality Check

This product contains 69g of sugar per 100g. To put that into perspective, that's equivalent to eating roughly 17 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, Tomato & Basil Rice Cakes achieves a CakeID Score of 20/100.

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

Health Recommendations
