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

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, Baskin Robbins Pistachio Almond Ice Cream falls significantly short of the cleaner food options we advocate for on our website. This product is neither organic nor does it use non-GMO ingredients, contributing to its low rating.
Diving into the ingredients, the presence of added sugars is a concern, with both sugar and corn syrup listed. The latter is a more harmful type of added sugar due to its processing and potential health impacts. The list continues with several potentially harmful additives, including natural and artificial flavors, mono and diglycerides, and carrageenan. The use of artificial flavors is particularly troubling, as they are known to be harmful. Furthermore, the inclusion of canola oil, a potentially harmful oil, exacerbates the product’s health implications.
The product also contains polysorbate 80, cellulose gum, guar gum, and an array of colors derived from spirulina extract and beta carotene. While these ingredients may not be as immediately concerning as others, they contribute to the overall assessment of the ice cream as a less-than-ideal choice for those seeking cleaner, healthier food options.
Our rating system penalizes products that do not meet high standards for health and nutrition. Baskin Robbins Pistachio Almond Ice Cream’s score reflects its composition of ingredients that do not align with our values of promoting clean eating. The product contains multiple elements that are viewed as detrimental to a healthy diet, which is why it receives the lowest possible score on our scale.
Consumers looking for healthier, cleaner food alternatives would be advised to consider other options. This product’s low green leaf rating serves as a guide for those aiming to make informed decisions in a market saturated with products that may not support a health-conscious lifestyle.
