Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Blue Bunny Big Double Strawberry® Sandwich represents a product that falls short of the cleaner food options promoted on our website. This frozen dessert is not organic, which immediately impacts its rating. Additionally, the absence of non-GMO ingredients further detracts from its score.
The list of ingredients reveals the presence of multiple added sugars, including sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and corn syrup, which are known for their negative health impacts. The product also includes a variety of potentially harmful additives such as natural and artificial flavors, mono and diglycerides, soy lecithin, and xanthan gum. These ingredients are often scrutinized for their long-term effects on health.
Of particular concern are the known harmful additives found in this dessert. Artificial flavors, carrageenan, Blue 1, and Red 40 have been linked to adverse health outcomes and are best avoided. Furthermore, the inclusion of harmful oils such as soybean oil and palm oil, which are associated with environmental and health concerns, negatively affects the product’s rating.
The presence of high fructose corn syrup is especially problematic, as this ingredient is associated with a host of health issues, including obesity and diabetes, and thus carries the most significant deduction in the product’s score.
The Blue Bunny Big Double Strawberry® Sandwich is a food item that our evaluation process deems to be on the lower end of the health spectrum. Its composition of non-organic, GMO, and unhealthy ingredients makes it a product that consumers seeking cleaner food options should avoid. It is our recommendation that individuals looking for healthier alternatives explore other products that adhere more closely to the standards of our green leaf rating system.
