About MARKETS OF MEIJER, CREAM CHEESE MUFFINS

Markets of Meijer Cream Cheese Muffins are a fresh bakery product from the Markets of Meijer sub-brand, made in Meijer's in-store bakery department. The ingredient list is extensive, reflecting the complexity of commercial bakery muffin formulations. Key ingredients include enriched bleached wheat flour, sugar, eggs, soybean oil, water, modified corn starch, and high-fructose corn syrup. The formula also contains TBHQ (tertiary butylhydroquinone) in the vegetable shortening, artificial flavor, titanium dioxide as a whitening color agent, artificial colors Yellow 5 and Yellow 6, and sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate as preservatives.

HFCS, TBHQ, titanium dioxide, artificial colors, and artificial flavor are all noteworthy for consumers following cleaner-label dietary standards. TBHQ is a petroleum-derived antioxidant preservative; European regulations require advisory labeling for some artificial colors. Titanium dioxide use in food is under increased regulatory scrutiny in the EU. Multiple allergens are present: wheat, eggs, dairy (nonfat milk, cream cheese, sodium caseinate), and soy (soy lecithin).

At 407 calories per 100 grams, these muffins are high in calories and sugar with 50.4 grams of carbohydrates, 20.4 grams of fat, 5.3 grams of protein, and 0.9 grams of fiber per 100 grams.
