Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
The Baskin Robbins Sundae Funday earns a 1/5 green leaves rating on our scale, indicating it is a product that consumers looking for cleaner food options should avoid. This treat is not organic, and it does not use non-GMO ingredients, which significantly impacts its score. The presence of added sugars, including sugar and fructose, further detracts from its healthfulness.
More concerning is the inclusion of high fructose corn syrup, a sweetener linked to various health issues, which is present in substantial quantities. The sundae also contains a range of potentially harmful additives such as natural flavor, flavor, diglycerides, soy lecithin, and glycerin. These ingredients often act as emulsifiers or flavor enhancers, but their effects on health are questionable, and they do not align with cleaner eating principles.
Particularly troubling is the use of carrageenan, an additive that has been the subject of scrutiny due to its potential inflammatory properties. The product also includes a mix of oils that are less than ideal for health-conscious consumers, including soybean oil, palm kernel oil, and palm oil, all of which are associated with environmental and health concerns.
The Baskin Robbins Sundae Funday is an example of a product that falls short of providing a clean eating option. The abundance of artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives, along with unhealthy fats and sugars, makes it a choice that does not support a wholesome diet. The ingredients list reveals a product that is heavily processed, with multiple components that do not meet the standards for those seeking natural, minimally processed foods.
For anyone prioritizing health and environmental sustainability, this sundae does not align with those values. It is a product that is best left on the shelf, as it does not contribute to a nutritious diet, nor does it reflect a commitment to cleaner, more natural food production practices.
