Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1 out of 5 green leaves, the ‘Blue Bunny Chips Galore!® Sandwich’ earns the lowest mark for its composition on our scale for cleaner food options. This rating reflects a product that is heavily laden with ingredients that do not align with our standards for health and sustainability.
The ‘Blue Bunny Chips Galore!® Sandwich’ is not organic, a factor that immediately detracts from its standing. Additionally, the product is not verified as using non-GMO ingredients, which further lowers its score. The presence of added sugars, including brown sugar and sugar, contributes to the negative assessment, while the inclusion of dextrose and corn syrup—identified as more harmful types of added sugars—exacerbates the issue.
The product also contains a range of additives that raise concerns. These include natural flavors, mono and diglycerides, enriched wheat flour, soy lecithin, xanthan gum, and ammonium bicarbonate. Of particular note is carrageenan, an additive recognized for its potential negative health impacts, which significantly affects the product’s score.
Moreover, the inclusion of certain oils is problematic. Both soybean oil and palm oil are identified as harmful, and their use in this frozen dessert sandwich is a critical factor in our evaluation. The use of palm oil also raises environmental concerns due to the deforestation and habitat destruction associated with its production.
Despite its place in the market as a dessert option, the ‘Blue Bunny Chips Galore!® Sandwich’ fails to meet the criteria for a cleaner, healthier food product. The array of non-organic ingredients, GMOs, added sugars, potentially harmful additives, and environmentally detrimental oils result in a product that is best avoided by consumers seeking healthier alternatives. Our assessment aims to guide those looking for food options that are not only better for their health but also for the planet.
