Ingredient Decoder

High Risk Additives

Red 40 (Allura Red)

A synthetic petroleum-based dye used to create bright red colors in candy and drinks. It has been linked to hyperactivity and attention issues in sensitive children. Banned in parts of Europe for use in baby food.

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

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.

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.

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.

Fractionated Palm Kernel Oil

A highly processed derivative of palm oil, containing even higher concentrations of saturated fats. Deforestation concerns remain.

Full Ingredients List:

Flour blend (sugar, enriched wheat flour, malted barley, niacin, iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid, modified corn starch, soybean oil, vital wheat gluten, whey powder, soy flour, soy lecithin, baking soda, baking powder, sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium bicarbonate, calcium carbonate, monocalcium phosphate, calcium sulfate, salt, canola oil, vanilla), palm oil, glycerine, eggs, cream cheese (pasteurized cultured milk and cream, stabilizers, carob bean and/or guar gum), white coating (sugar, fractionated palm kernel oil, whey powder, nonfat milk powder, soy lecithin, natural flavors), cocoa processed with alkali, peppermint flavor, peppermint candy (pure cane sugar, corn syrup, pure peppermint oil, Red 40).

Health Integrity Analysis

Is Winter’s Basket Fudge Dipped Pepperment Soft Batch Cookies 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 30/100, here is the deep dive into what you are actually eating.

⚠️ Additive Watch: Critical Flags

The ingredient list reveals the presence of Red 40 (Allura Red). A synthetic petroleum-based dye used to create bright red colors in candy and drinks. It has been linked to hyperactivity and attention issues in sensitive children. Banned in parts of Europe for use in baby food. For health-conscious consumers, this is a significant red flag that lowered the product's overall score.

The Sugar Reality Check

This product contains 38g 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, Winter’s Basket Fudge Dipped Pepperment Soft Batch Cookies achieves a CakeID Score of 30/100.

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.
