Rating:     We Avoid

Ingredient Score:

The Blue Bunny Chocolate Lovers® Sandwich receives a 1/5 green leaf rating on our website, reflecting a strong recommendation to avoid this product for those seeking cleaner food options. This frozen dessert is not organic and contains genetically modified ingredients, which immediately reduces its standing in our evaluation.

Moreover, the product is laden with various forms of added sugars, including sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and dextrose, which contribute to its low score. These sweeteners are associated with negative health impacts when consumed in excess. The presence of high fructose corn syrup is particularly concerning due to its link to various health issues.

In addition to sugars, the ingredient list features a range of additives that raise red flags. Artificial flavors, caramel color, and carrageenan are among the known harmful additives present in this ice cream sandwich. These substances have been scrutinized for their potential adverse health effects. Other ingredients like natural and artificial flavors, mono and diglycerides, soy lecithin, and xanthan gum may not be inherently harmful but are often viewed with skepticism by those prioritizing natural and unprocessed foods.

The inclusion of palm oil is another point of concern. The production of palm oil is notorious for environmental damage and ethical issues related to deforestation and habitat destruction. Health-wise, palm oil is a source of saturated fats, which are linked to heart disease when consumed in large amounts.

This product’s composition reflects a heavy reliance on processed ingredients and additives that are not aligned with a clean eating philosophy. The Blue Bunny Chocolate Lovers® Sandwich, with a 1/5 green leaf rating, is a product our research indicates falls short of providing a healthier alternative in the frozen dessert market. Consumers seeking clean, wholesome food options are advised to consider other products that align more closely with these values.
