Does Your Breakfast Cereal Contain More Sugar Than A Pop-tart? Some pop-tarts also contain fruit or other flavorings. The most common ingredients are flour, sugar, butter, salt, and baking powder. There are generally between 6 and 8 ingredients in a pop-tart. If this is true, any of the unfrosted, fruity Pop-Tarts (Strawberry or blueberry) is likely to be the healthiest.
While an unfrosted Strawberry tart has only 12 grams of sugar, a frosted one has 16 grams of sugar. The first frosted Pop-Tarts were released in 1967, after frosting was discovered to be safe to use in addition to being unfrosted at first. Strawberry, blueberry, brown sugar cinnamon, and apple currant flavors were the first Pop-Tarts available in 1904, and they soon became apple-berry flavors. We may be concerned about the chemicals contained in our favorite foods, but by better understanding the additives themselves, we can gain some comfort. Xantham gum is a well-known additive that can be found in a wide range of products, including Pop-Tarts and cosmetic and industrial cleaners. High fructose corn syrup is widely regarded as an obesity-causing agent in the United States. The high fructose corn syrup has a bad reputation as a result of its use of potentially hazardous chemicals. The color caramel is commonly used for food and beverage applications to improve the appearance of the product, and it is generally regarded as safe by the U.S Food and Drug Administration. There are nearly 40 ingredients listed on Kellogg’s nutritional label, which can be somewhat perplexing in some cases. Pop-Tart has become very popular in American cuisine. The dough is rolled out and cut into shapes, then filled with fruit or other fillings. Pop tarts also contain eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Whatever the outcome, this might be some satisfying filler material for Jerry Seinfeld’s upcoming Netflix project, Unfrosted, about the origins of the Pop-Tart.There are many flavors of pop tarts, but the most common ingredients are flour, sugar, butter, and corn syrup. Other pastry-related fires have been reported. In 1995, the company settled with a consumer’s insurance company after he alleged a Pop-Tart caught fire in his toaster and caused $3000 in damages to his Springfield, Ohio, home. This isn’t the first time Kellogg’s has come under fire for Pop-Tarts. Kellogg’s currently has approximately 28 flavors of Pop-Tarts available, though the suits specify the strawberry version as the offender. Both are represented by the same law firm. It’s joined by a similar claim filed in August by Anita Harris of Illinois. Russett’s is a class action lawsuit, which would open it up to include other consumers who feel slighted by the perceived-and as-yet-unproven-allegation of artificially inflated strawberry content. The lawsuit points out that similar toaster pastry products from Walmart and Dollar Tree use “naturally and artificially flavored” language on their packaging, which Russett deems more accurate. Russett also argues that Kellogg’s is exploiting health-conscious consumers who consider strawberries a healthy dietary choice, and calling it Whole Grain Frosted Strawberry Pop-Tarts “is false, deceptive, and misleading, because it contains mostly non-strawberry fruit ingredients.” Her filing suggests a more accurate description would be “Whole Grain Frosted Strawberry Toaster Pastries – 80% Non-Strawberry, 20% Strawberry.” She goes on to allege that Kellogg’s is misleading consumers by using red food dye (red 40) to make it seem as though the pears and apples contained in the product are part of the strawberry component. According to plaintiff Elizabeth Russett, the Tarts list “dried strawberries” as making up just “2 percent or less” of the ingredients in the pastry, along with dried pears and dried apples. The lawsuit, which was filed in New York, alleges that Kellogg’s is misrepresenting the volume of fruit filling in their Whole Grain Frosted Strawberry Pop-Tarts. As Food & Wine reports, a woman is suing Kellogg’s for what she says is a misrepresentation of the amount of actual strawberry in the Tarts. Ever since being introduced nationally in 1964, Kellogg’s fruit-flavored Pop-Tarts have been the breakfast of choice for people who want a pastry popping out of their toaster before they head to work or school.īut not everyone holds this piping-hot concoction in high regard.
