What You Should Know

You'd spot this box in the freezer or packaged breakfast aisle as an easy grab for rushed mornings or a lazy weekend brunch. It gives a nostalgic, comforting waffle vibe but the long list of starches, isolates and stabilizers (xanthan gum, lecithin, whey protein isolate, pre-mixed baking powder) signals a highly formulated product designed for consistent texture and shelf-life — hallmarks of ultraprocessed foods.

Common Questions about 365 by Whole Foods Market, Gluten Free Waffles, 8 Ounce

The healthiness of the waffles really depends on what you're comparing them to! They’re not loaded with artificial ingredients or preservatives, which is a plus. However, they do contain a fair amount of sodium and aren't particularly high in fiber or protein, so consider them a treat rather than a nutritional powerhouse.
