Rating: Not Clean
- 2 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 2 out of 5 green leaves, the Ocean Spray Cran50™ Cranberry Juice Drink falls short of meeting the criteria for cleaner food options as defined by our standards. This product is not organic, and the ingredients list includes genetically modified elements, which leads to deductions in its overall score. The presence of added sugars, in the form of fructose and sugar, further detracts from its rating.
Additionally, the Cran50™ juice drink incorporates artificial sweeteners such as acesulfame potassium and sucralose, which are considered more harmful types of added sugars and negatively impact the product’s score. The inclusion of natural flavor and sodium citrate, categorized as potentially harmful additives, also contributes to the lower rating.
The product does not align with the goal of providing healthier alternatives in the food market. Its formulation could benefit from significant revisions to enhance its healthfulness and cleanliness. The elimination of artificial sweeteners, the use of organic ingredients, and the removal of GMOs would be necessary steps in improving the product’s standing on our scale.
Ocean Spray’s Cran50™ Cranberry Juice Drink, as it is currently made, does not meet the standards for those seeking cleaner and more wholesome food options. The ingredients used raise concerns about the product’s nutritional value and health implications. Consumers looking for clean food products will find that this juice drink does not adhere to the high standards that are often sought after in today’s health-conscious market.
