Rating:     We Avoid

Ingredient Score:

Awarded a 1/5 green leaf rating, the Blue Bunny Cherrific Cheesecake falls short of cleaner food standards due to its extensive use of non-organic, potentially GMO ingredients, and a multitude of additives and sugars that are best avoided. This product is not organic and lacks non-GMO verification, raising concerns for those seeking natural foods.

The ingredient list reveals several types of added sugars, including molasses, sugar, and high fructose corn syrup, which contribute to the product’s high caloric and sugar content. High fructose corn syrup, a particularly controversial sweetener linked to various health issues, is present and significantly detracts from the product’s rating.

The inclusion of potentially harmful oils such as soybean and palm oil is another downside. These oils are often heavily processed and may have environmental implications due to the methods used in their production. Furthermore, the presence of various additives, including natural and artificial flavors, mono and diglycerides, soy lecithin, and xanthan gum, adds to the product’s artificial composition.

Among the additives, carrageenan and Red 40 stand out as known concerns. Carrageenan has been debated for its potential inflammatory properties, while Red 40 is an artificial color that some prefer to avoid due to its synthetic nature and possible health effects.

Overall, the Blue Bunny Cherrific Cheesecake, with its array of undesirable ingredients and lack of health-conscious features such as organic certification and non-GMO ingredients, is not recommended. The product’s composition reflects a prioritization of shelf-life and flavor over nutritional value and health benefits, making it a poor choice for those seeking cleaner, more wholesome food options.
