Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Blue Bunny Chunky Chocolate Chip ice cream is a product that our evaluation has determined to be at the lowest end of our health-conscious scale. This rating reflects a significant presence of ingredients that our criteria identify as undesirable for a cleaner diet.
The product is not organic, and it does not use non-GMO ingredients, which already places it at a disadvantage in our scoring system. Furthermore, the inclusion of added sugars, such as sugar and fructose, contributes to its low score, as these are elements we aim to minimize in a health-focused diet. The situation is exacerbated by the presence of corn syrup, which is another form of added sugar that carries a heavier penalty due to its association with negative health effects.
Even more concerning is the high fructose corn syrup content, an ingredient that has been widely criticized for its potential health risks and is heavily penalized in our scoring process. The product also contains a range of additives like natural flavors, diglycerides, soy lecithin, and xanthan gum, which, while common in processed foods, are considered potentially harmful in our assessment criteria. Of particular note is carrageenan, an additive that has been linked to digestive inflammation and other health issues, and thus incurs the highest deduction in our evaluation system.
The Blue Bunny Chunky Chocolate Chip ice cream’s ingredient list, which includes skim milk, whey, cream, buttermilk, and various thickeners and stabilizers such as tara gum, guar gum, carob bean gum, cellulose gel, and cellulose gum, reflects a product that is heavily processed. While these ingredients are typical in many commercial ice creams, they contribute to the product’s low rating on our scale.
Taking all these factors into account, the Blue Bunny Chunky Chocolate Chip ice cream is not recommended for those seeking cleaner, healthier food options. Its composition and the use of several concerning ingredients suggest that it is best avoided by consumers prioritizing a clean diet.
