Good & Gather Everything Crackers — ENGINEERED
Munch or Dump rates Good & Gather Everything Crackers by Good & Gather ENGINEERED — score 30/90.
Everything-bagel seasoning and some genuine whole grains, oats and bran give this a wholesome look, but enriched refined flour is the #1 ingredient and cane sugar and oil follow close behind. It is a NOVA 4 ultra-processed cracker built on the hyper-palatable flour-oil-sugar triad. Better than the average snack cracker thanks to the seeds and whole grains, but engineered nonetheless.
Why this verdict
- Enriched refined flour is the #1 ingredient, ahead of the whole grains the product advertises.
- Hyper-palatable triad: enriched flour + sunflower oil + evaporated cane sugar.
- NOVA 4 ultra-processed, a roughly 17-ingredient formula that includes added wheat gluten and soy grits.
- Whole wheat, oats, bran and seeds are real counter-signals, but they ride behind refined flour and sugar.
