Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Blue Bunny Chocolate represents a choice that is not aligned with the cleaner food options our website advocates for. This product is not organic, incorporates GMO ingredients, and contains a variety of added sugars, including high fructose corn syrup, which are considered detrimental to health. The presence of potentially and known harmful additives further impacts the product’s rating negatively.
Blue Bunny Chocolate is a non-organic food item, which results in a lower score on our scale. The inclusion of GMO ingredients also detracts from its overall health profile. Sugar and high fructose corn syrup, both of which are added sugars, are key ingredients in this product. These sugars contribute to various health issues when consumed in excess, such as obesity and diabetes. The product also contains corn syrup, another form of added sugar, which has been associated with negative health outcomes.
Moreover, the ice cream includes several additives that raise concern. These include mono and diglycerides, which are fats used as emulsifiers, and xanthan gum, a thickening agent. Although these are common in processed foods, their potential health impacts are worth noting. Caramel color, an artificial coloring agent, is also present and has been scrutinized for its safety. Carrageenan, which is often used for its gelling properties, has been linked to digestive issues and inflammation.
The Blue Bunny Chocolate product does not meet the criteria for a cleaner food alternative due to its composition. It is made with a multitude of ingredients that our evaluation process identifies as less desirable for a health-conscious consumer. The product’s overall score reflects these concerns, highlighting the need for greater awareness of ingredient profiles in food products. Consumers seeking healthier, cleaner options are advised to consider alternatives that better align with these values.
