Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, Baskin Robbins Old Fashioned Butter Pecan Ice Cream is a product that our assessment deems best to avoid. This ice cream is not organic and contains genetically modified ingredients, which already places it at a disadvantage on our scale. Furthermore, the inclusion of added sugars, specifically sugar and corn syrup, raises concerns about its healthfulness.
Delving deeper into its composition, the presence of potentially harmful additives such as natural and artificial flavors, mono and diglycerides, and particularly carrageenan, contributes negatively to its overall score. The use of artificial flavors is another significant drawback, and the product’s content of high fructose corn syrup solidifies its low standing on our rating system.
The ice cream’s ingredients list reveals several elements that are not aligned with our criteria for cleaner food options. The use of non-organic components, GMOs, and a variety of added sugars and harmful additives highlights the product’s departure from what we consider a healthy profile. Additionally, the inclusion of roasted pecans, which are prepared with cottonseed oil, butter, and salt, does not offset the negative impact of the other ingredients.
Our assessment aims to guide consumers toward choices that promote health and well-being. Baskin Robbins Old Fashioned Butter Pecan Ice Cream, with its current formulation, falls short of these standards. We advocate for transparency and encourage consumers to seek products with fewer additives, no GMOs, and organic ingredients when possible. The 1/5 green leaves rating reflects our commitment to helping consumers make informed decisions in a market saturated with options that may not contribute to a healthier lifestyle.
