Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1 out of 5 green leaves, Baskin Robbins Pralines ‘n Cream Ice Cream is recommended for avoidance on our cleaner food guide. This product is not organic and contains genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, which contributes to its low rating. The inclusion of added sugars, such as sugar and fructose, further detracts from its score. More concerning is the presence of corn syrup, which is a form of added sugar that is less desirable due to its association with various health concerns.
The ice cream also contains several additives that raise flags. Ingredients such as natural and artificial flavors, diglycerides, soy lecithin, and potassium sorbate are included in the recipe, which are considered potentially harmful. Furthermore, the product contains carrageenan and propylene glycol, which are known for their controversial health effects and contribute to the product’s negative assessment.
High fructose corn syrup, listed among the ingredients, is particularly problematic. This sweetener has been linked to numerous health issues and is a significant factor in the product’s low score. The presence of artificial flavors alongside high fructose corn syrup amplifies the concerns, reinforcing the recommendation to avoid this ice cream.
The product’s composition, with its non-organic status, GMO ingredients, multiple forms of added sugars, and an array of questionable additives, leads to its poor rating. The health-conscious consumer is advised to seek out alternative options that align better with a cleaner diet. The Baskin Robbins Pralines ‘n Cream Ice Cream does not meet the standards set by our guide for a healthier food choice.
