Despite its low IMDb rating of 5.6/10, Consumed has garnered mixed reviews from critics. While some praise its engaging storyline and thought-provoking themes, others criticize its pacing and execution. Rotten Tomatoes' consensus states that 'Consumed provides a sobering look at the complexities of the modern food industry, albeit one somewhat undermined by a muddled narrative.'

Overall, Consumed sparks important discussions about food safety and corporate responsibility, making it a compelling watch for those interested in socially relevant cinema.
