Pie Crust Mix
Longevity Score
38/100
Food Integrity Score
52/100
Consider Avoiding
At least one major score is weak enough that many people will want a clearer alternative for regular use.
Quick answer
Consider Avoiding
Jiffy pie crust mix is rated consider avoiding overall, with a Longevity Score of 38 out of 100 and a Food Integrity Score of 52 out of 100. Refined wheat flour and animal shortening with preservatives; low fiber and protein, so limited whole-food alignment. Strengths include simple, short ingredient list, enriched flour provides some b vitamins and iron, and zero added sugar per serving, while main considerations include refined wheat flour with very low fiber, animal shortening high in saturated fat, and multiple preservatives (bht, tbhq-type tocopherols, citric acid).
