Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, Baskin Robbins Rocky Road Ice Cream falls at the bottom of the scale for cleaner food options. The score reflects the presence of multiple ingredients that raise concerns for those seeking healthier alternatives in their frozen treats.
The ice cream is not organic, and it contains genetically modified organisms (GMOs). These factors alone detract significantly from its clean food status. The addition of sugars, such as plain sugar and more concerning high fructose corn syrup, contribute to the product’s low score, given the widespread push for reduced sugar consumption in health-conscious circles.
The ingredient list also includes several additives like mono and diglycerides, which are often used as emulsifiers in food products but can be derived from fatty acids, the sources of which are not always clear or clean. More alarming is the inclusion of carrageenan, a thickening agent sourced from seaweed, which has been linked to gastrointestinal inflammation and other health issues in some studies.
Furthermore, the product contains canola oil, which, unless specified as non-GMO and expeller-pressed, is typically extracted using chemical solvents and is often genetically modified. This oil is considered less desirable by those prioritizing cleaner eating due to the potential health risks associated with its processing and genetic modification.
The Baskin Robbins Rocky Road Ice Cream’s score reflects these concerns, aligning with the mission of promoting cleaner food options. The product contains several ingredients that are flagged as harmful or potentially harmful, which has resulted in the assignment of the lowest possible rating on the green leaf scale. Consumers looking for healthier ice cream alternatives are advised to consider products with higher green leaf ratings that avoid these ingredients and adhere more closely to organic and non-GMO standards.
