The Gingerbread Nativity Kit is a pre-made kit containing materials to assemble a nativity scene with gingerbread houses and figures, typically intended for decoration or as a seasonal craft.
The nutrition facts reveal that the product is low in protein but high in added sugars, saturated fat, and carbohydrates, contributing 150 calories per serving, which is moderately calorie-dense but aligns more with a treat or snack rather than a balanced meal.
Analyzing the ingredients, the product is heavily processed with added sugars, artificial flavors, colors, and preservatives like potassium sorbate and citric acid, along with stabilized ultra-processed additives such as modified cornstarch and high fructose corn syrup. These features point to it being an ultra-processed food, designed for shelf stability and extended use beyond basic nutrition.
Given the presence of added sugars and artificial ingredients, a healthier alternative would be to opt for fresh, minimally processed gingerbread or homemade versions made with whole ingredients like whole wheat flour and natural spices instead of pre-made, heavily processed kits.
