- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Blue Bunny Big Neapolitan® Sandwich falls short of cleaner food standards. This product is not organic and includes GMO ingredients, leading to initial deductions in its healthfulness score. The presence of added sugars, such as sugar and citric acid, further reduces its rating. More concerning are the additional sweeteners like dextrose and corn syrup, which contribute to its low score.
The ingredient list reveals a range of additives that raise health concerns. Natural flavors, artificial flavors, and diglycerides are among these, alongside soy lecithin and xanthan gum. Particularly troubling are the artificial flavors and caramel color, both of which are linked to potential health risks. Carrageenan, another contentious additive, appears in this product.
Palm oil is another ingredient that contributes negatively to the product’s score. Not only does its production have environmental implications, but it is also considered a less healthy oil option. Additionally, the inclusion of high fructose corn syrup is a significant factor in the product’s low rating, given its association with various health issues.
The Blue Bunny Big Neapolitan® Sandwich embodies many of the elements that consumers seeking cleaner food options aim to avoid. It is a product that has multiple non-organic and GMO ingredients, coupled with an array of added sugars and potentially harmful additives. The use of palm oil and the presence of high fructose corn syrup compound its shortcomings. The accumulation of these factors results in the product receiving the lowest possible score on the healthfulness scale. Consumers are advised to steer clear of this product in favor of alternatives that better align with the pursuit of cleaner, more wholesome food choices.
