Ingredients (11)
- Enriched Flour (moderate) — Refined wheat flour with synthetic vitamins added back; spikes blood sugar with little fiber.
- Chocolate Chips (sugar, chocolate liquor, dextrose, cocoa butter, soy lecithin) (moderate) — Real chocolate but sugar-first; the dextrose and lecithin add more processing.
- Partially Hydrogenated Soybean and/or Cottonseed Oil (harmful) — Source of artificial trans fat; raises bad cholesterol and is tied to heart disease. No safe level.
- Sugar (moderate) — Added sugar sitting ahead of cocoa; the main flavor driver here.
- molasses (moderate) — Second added sweetener; trace minerals but still sugar.
- Whey (safe) — Milk protein byproduct used for texture; harmless.
- Soy Lecithin (moderate) — Common emulsifier in the brownie; mild but adds to the additive pile.
- Ammonium bicarbonate (safe) — Traditional leavening agent for crisp cookies — harmless.
- Natural and Artificial Flavor (moderate) — Undisclosed lab-made flavor blend; not harmful but a marker of an engineered product.
- Dextrose (moderate) — A second added sugar, used on the chicken; spikes blood sugar fast.
- Corn Starch (moderate) — Refined starch used as a thickener/filler, adding fast carbs with no nutritional value.
