Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the ‘Blue Bunny Cookies & Cream’ ice cream is not recommended for those seeking cleaner food options. This product is not organic and does not use non-GMO ingredients, which significantly impacts its green leaf rating. The ice cream contains added sugars, including high fructose corn syrup, which are considered detrimental to health by many nutrition experts. The presence of harmful oils like soybean and palm oil further detracts from its overall score.
The ingredient list reveals numerous additives, such as mono and diglycerides, xanthan gum, and caramel color, which contribute to the low rating. These substances are often scrutinized for their potential health impacts. Additionally, the product contains carrageenan, an additive that has been the subject of controversy due to its possible inflammatory effects.
The use of enriched wheat flour and soy lecithin is also worth noting, as these ingredients may not align with the clean eating philosophy that prioritizes whole, minimally processed foods. The product’s reliance on natural and artificial flavors raises questions about the transparency of its flavoring sources and their potential health implications.
The ‘Blue Bunny Cookies & Cream’ ice cream, with its multitude of questionable ingredients and lack of organic certification, falls short of the standards set by those advocating for cleaner, more natural food products. The 1/5 green leaf rating reflects its position at the lower end of the health-conscious consumer’s options. For individuals prioritizing clean eating, this product is best left on the shelf in favor of alternatives that better align with their dietary values and ingredient preferences.
