Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Baskin Robbins OREO® ‘n Cold Brew’ falls significantly short on the cleaner food scale. This rating reflects the product’s composition of non-organic ingredients, inclusion of GMOs, and a plethora of additives and sugars that are considered detrimental to health.
The ice cream is not organic, which is a primary concern for those seeking natural food options. It also contains genetically modified ingredients, distancing it further from the cleaner food category. The product includes not just sugar, but also corn syrup, which is a more harmful added sugar due to its high fructose content and potential health implications.
Moreover, the presence of multiple potentially harmful additives raises red flags. Natural flavors, while seemingly innocuous, are unspecified and could encompass a range of chemical constituents. Mono and diglycerides, commonly used as emulsifiers, along with enriched wheat and flour, soy lecithin, and unspecified flavors, contribute to the product’s low score. Carrageenan, a known harmful additive, is particularly troubling due to its association with inflammation and digestive issues.
The oils used in the product—canola, soybean, and palm—are considered harmful due to their processing methods and environmental impact. Canola and soybean oils often undergo heavy refinement and may contain trans fats, while palm oil production is notorious for causing deforestation and habitat destruction.
Given these factors, the Baskin Robbins OREO® ‘n Cold Brew’ is not recommended for those seeking cleaner, healthier food options. The ingredients list points to a product that prioritizes flavor and texture over health and environmental sustainability. For consumers focused on clean eating, this ice cream does not align with the principles of a health-conscious diet and is best left out of the shopping cart.
