Antioxidants in Sweet Potato Cookie?

Created on 01, March, 2012

A new cookie using sweet potato declares “great source of antioxidants.” 

Too bad the Nutrition Facts doesn’t back this up. If they had simply used more actual sweet potato, the antioxidant vitamins on the Facts panel might support such a claim (which is regulated by FDA). In addition, the ingredients list doesn’t specify that the flour contains wheat (it simply uses a brand name for the flour). Ooops.
