Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Baskin Robbins Triple Mango fails to meet the standards for cleaner food options. This product is not organic and contains genetically modified ingredients, which immediately impacts its rating on our scale. The presence of added sugars, including both sugar and citric acid, further reduces its score. More concerning is the inclusion of high-fructose corn syrup, a sweetener linked to various health issues.
The ice cream also contains several additives that raise red flags. The term “natural flavor” often covers a range of substances that are not always disclosed, and in the case of the Triple Mango, it contributes negatively to the product’s rating. Mono and diglycerides, which are used as emulsifiers, also detract from the product’s score due to potential health concerns. Carrageenan, a thickening agent found in numerous processed foods, has been identified as particularly harmful and is responsible for the most significant point deduction.
The product’s ingredient list includes multiple instances of mango, in the form of puree and syrup, which may appeal to those seeking a fruit-flavored treat. However, the benefits of the actual fruit are overshadowed by the product’s overall composition, which prioritizes additives and sugars over natural wholesomeness.
The Baskin Robbins Triple Mango, therefore, is not recommended for consumers looking for clean eating options. Its low rating reflects the accumulation of non-organic ingredients, GMOs, added sugars, and potentially harmful additives. Consumers are advised to seek alternatives that prioritize organic ingredients, avoid GMOs, and eliminate harmful additives for a healthier option in the frozen dessert category.
