Scooby-Doo! Baked Graham Cracker Snacks Cinnamon — ENGINEERED
Munch or Dump rates Scooby-Doo! Baked Graham Cracker Snacks Cinnamon by Scooby-Doo! ENGINEERED — score 30/90.
A kid-targeted snack built on the hyper-palatable triad: refined enriched flour, added sugar plus honey, and refined oil, then padded with maltodextrin and BHT. The whole-grain badge papers over a NOVA-4 processed cracker.
Why this verdict
- Refined enriched flour + sugar + canola oil = the hyper-palatable triad built for craving, not nutrition
- Maltodextrin spikes blood sugar fast and flags industrial NOVA-4 processing
- BHT preservative is synthetic and restricted in several countries
- Two added sweeteners (sugar and honey) on top of refined starch
- Cartoon branding markets this engineered snack straight to kids
Ingredients (11)
- WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR (safe) — Genuine whole grain with intact fiber and nutrients, but it sits second behind refined flour.
- Enriched Flour (moderate) — Refined wheat stripped of fiber and bran, then partly re-fortified; digests fast and spikes blood sugar.
- Sugar (concerning) — Added refined sugar, listed high - spikes blood sugar with no nutrition.
- CANOLA OIL (moderate) — Refined seed oil added for softness and shelf life.
- honey (moderate) — Added sugar, but a small amount low on the list; the only sweetener here.
- Salt (moderate) — Added sodium for flavour.
- Baking Soda (safe) — Standard leavening agent, harmless in food amounts.
- cinnamon (safe) — A real spice; the one flavor that lives up to the name.
- Maltodextrin (concerning) — A refined-starch filler with a glycemic index higher than table sugar; pure processed carbohydrate with no nutritional upside.
- Soy Lecithin (safe) — Common emulsifier, generally benign in these amounts.
- BHT (concerning) — Synthetic preservative added to preserve freshness; controversial and unnecessary in a clean food.
