- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Blue Bunny Cookies ‘N Cream Sandwich presents itself as a cautionary choice for those seeking cleaner food options. This frozen dessert falls short of meeting the criteria for a healthier alternative in a market saturated with options that often prioritize taste over nutritional value.
The product is not organic, which already places it at a disadvantage for consumers aiming to avoid pesticides and synthetic fertilizers commonly used in conventional agriculture. Furthermore, the presence of genetically modified ingredients raises concerns for those wary of GMOs and their long-term impact on health and the environment.
A significant issue with the Blue Bunny Cookies ‘N Cream Sandwich is the inclusion of added sugars, such as sugar and corn syrup, which contribute to the high calorie count and potential health risks associated with excessive sugar consumption. The product also contains a range of additives like natural flavors, diglycerides, and xanthan gum, which are often viewed with skepticism due to their processed nature and potential side effects.
Particularly troubling is the use of caramel color and carrageenan, which have been flagged for their possible adverse health effects. The presence of these known harmful additives amplifies concerns regarding the product’s safety and wholesomeness.
Moreover, the inclusion of soybean oil and palm oil as ingredients is problematic. These oils are not only associated with environmental issues like deforestation and habitat destruction but also raise health concerns due to their processing methods and fat composition.
Given the ingredients and the lack of organic certification, the Blue Bunny Cookies ‘N Cream Sandwich is a product that those seeking clean and healthy food options should avoid. The 1/5 green leaves rating reflects the product’s alignment with values of health-conscious consumers and underscores the need for more transparent and nutritionally sound choices in the frozen treat aisle.
