Rating:     We Avoid

Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Baskin Robbins Reduced-Fat, No Sugar Added Caramel Turtle Truffle Ice Cream is a product recommended for avoidance on our website, which promotes cleaner eating choices. The ice cream is not organic and includes GMO ingredients, which detracts significantly from its clean food status.

The product contains a variety of sweeteners such as Maltitol and Sucralose, which are added sugars that contribute negatively to its score. Beyond these, the presence of Maltodextrin, a known harmful additive, further lowers the ice cream’s rating. The list of ingredients also features several potentially harmful additives, including artificial flavors and diglycerides, which are generally discouraged in cleaner eating practices.

Moreover, the ice cream includes ingredients like Carrageenan, which has been associated with digestive issues and inflammation, raising concerns about its safety. The inclusion of non-specified ‘Natural and Artificial Flavor’ is problematic, as it lacks transparency, and consumers are unable to identify what specifically they are consuming. The product does not list Palm Oil directly, yet a deduction was made for harmful oils; this could be a point of confusion and might need clarification or correction.

The ice cream also supposedly contains High Fructose Corn Syrup, as indicated by the deduction for ‘Artificial Flavor’, although it is not explicitly listed in the ingredients. This could be an area of misinterpretation that requires a second look, as accurate ingredient assessment is crucial for our ratings.

The ice cream’s composition, with its reliance on non-organic, GMO, and multiple artificial ingredients, positions it at the lowest end of our green leaf rating scale. This product embodies the type of food option our website aims to steer consumers away from in the pursuit of cleaner, healthier dietary choices.
