Rating: We Avoid

Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Blue Bunny Big Mississippi Mud® Sandwich falls short of cleaner food standards on our website. This product is not organic and contains genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, leading to an initial deduction in its rating. Furthermore, the presence of added sugars, including sugar and high fructose corn syrup, further lowers its score.

The product’s ingredient list reveals several types of added sugars, such as dextrose and corn syrup, which contribute to its negative assessment. The inclusion of potentially harmful additives like natural and artificial flavors, mono and diglycerides, soy lecithin, xanthan gum, and caramel color also detract from its overall rating. More concerning, it contains artificial flavor and carrageenan, both of which are recognized as known harmful additives.

In addition to these concerns, the Blue Bunny Big Mississippi Mud® Sandwich includes palm oil, which is flagged for its potential health and environmental impacts. The presence of high fructose corn syrup, coupled with artificial flavor, constitutes the most significant reduction in the product’s score due to its association with negative health outcomes.

The comprehensive ingredient analysis of the Blue Bunny Big Mississippi Mud® Sandwich leads to the recommendation to avoid this product. It contains a multitude of additives and non-organic ingredients that do not align with the pursuit of cleaner food options. The green leaf rating system employed here aims to guide consumers toward healthier choices, and this product, with the lowest possible score, does not meet the criteria for a cleaner, healthier food option.
