The Take

Uncrustables is not healthy. It earns an 88 Slop Score as industrial PB&J engineered for people terrified of crusts.

The brand sells nostalgia and convenience while loading every bite with seed oils and corn syrup that no home sandwich needs.

The Verdict

Skip Uncrustables. Make your own with sourdough, real peanut butter, and fruit jam — three ingredients, actual control.

88 Slop Score.
