Health Integrity Analysis

Is Mushroom Pho 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 50/100, here is the deep dive into what you are actually eating.

⚠️ Moderate Caution

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

Nutritional Balance

With only 5g of sugar, this product maintains a balanced profile. It avoids the excessive sweetness of typical processed foods while providing 7g of protein.

Final Verdict

Taking into account the macro-nutrient balance, additive risks, and caloric density, Mushroom Pho achieves a CakeID Score of 50/100.

Consume in Moderation: It's not a health hazard, but it shouldn't be a staple in your daily diet due to its processing level or nutritional density.
