Baby Ruth

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Baby Ruth Bar does not align with the cleaner food options our website advocates for. This product is not organic, contains GMO ingredients, and is laden with multiple forms of added sugars, including sugar, high fructose corn syrup, dextrose, and corn syrup. These ingredients are detrimental to those seeking a healthier diet.

Furthermore, the Baby Ruth Bar includes several potentially and known harmful additives. Soy lecithin and glycerin, both of which are included in the bar, may pose health risks according to some studies. More concerning is the presence of carrageenan, an additive that has been linked to significant health issues and is thus penalized heavily in our scoring system.

The inclusion of hydrogenated vegetable oils, such as palm, coconut, and soybean, raises additional health concerns. These oils are often high in unhealthy trans fats, which have been associated with heart disease and other chronic health conditions.

The product also falls short in terms of responsible sourcing. It is neither organic nor does it use non-GMO ingredients, factors that are increasingly important to health-conscious consumers who are looking for transparency and environmental stewardship in their food choices.

Given the product’s composition, which is counter to the principles of clean eating, the Baby Ruth Bar receives our lowest possible rating. It is our recommendation to avoid this product in favor of healthier, more natural alternatives that offer transparent ingredient lists, free from harmful additives, GMOs, and excessive added sugars. Our rating system is designed to steer consumers towards foods that promote health and well-being, and the Baby Ruth Bar does not meet those standards.
