Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Baskin Robbins Pink Bubblegum ice cream falls significantly short of the standards for cleaner food options set by our website. This product is not organic and includes genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, which have led to deductions in its overall score.
The ice cream contains several types of added sugars, such as sugar, dextrose, and corn syrup, contributing to its low rating. These sweeteners are not only excessive but also considered detrimental to health. Further compromising its standing are the numerous potentially harmful additives present, including natural and artificial flavors, mono and diglycerides, soy lecithin, and carrageenan. Maltodextrin, specifically categorized as a known harmful additive, exacerbates the product’s negative score.
Moreover, the presence of artificial flavors, especially highlighted due to their association with high fructose corn syrup, is a significant concern. Such ingredients are linked to various health issues and are undesirable in cleaner food products. The inclusion of stabilizers and emulsifiers like cellulose gum, guar gum, and polysorbate 80 also detracts from the product’s natural quality.
The colorants used, derived from vegetable juice and beta carotene, are one of the few aspects that do not negatively impact the score. However, this does not counterbalance the extensive list of contentious ingredients.
Given these factors, the Baskin Robbins Pink Bubblegum ice cream receives the lowest possible score on our scale. It is heavily penalized for its non-organic status, GMO content, multiple added sugars, and an array of harmful additives. Our assessment aligns with a strong recommendation to avoid this product in favor of cleaner, healthier food choices that better support overall well-being.
