Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Blue Bunny Load’d Bars® Super Fudge Brownie® is a product recommended for avoidance on our cleaner food options scale. This frozen dessert is not organic, includes genetically modified ingredients, and is rife with added sugars and potentially harmful oils, which significantly diminishes its standing from a health-conscious perspective.
The ingredients list reveals the presence of sugar and corn syrup, both of which contribute to the excessive addition of sweeteners. The product also contains a variety of oils such as coconut, interesterified soybean, soybean, palm kernel, and canola oil. The inclusion of palm oil is particularly concerning due to its association with environmental and ethical issues, as well as potential health risks.
Furthermore, the Blue Bunny Load’d Bars® Super Fudge Brownie® contains several additives like natural flavors, soy lecithin, diglycerides, and xanthan gum. Among these, caramel color and carrageenan stand out as known harmful additives. Caramel color has been scrutinized for its potential carcinogenic properties, while carrageenan has been linked to gastrointestinal inflammation and discomfort.
The product’s reliance on non-organic ingredients and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) further detracts from its appeal for those seeking cleaner food alternatives. The absence of an organic certification and the presence of GMOs contribute to the product’s minimal green leaf rating, reinforcing the recommendation to opt for healthier choices.
The Blue Bunny Load’d Bars® Super Fudge Brownie® is a clear example of a product that does not align with the values of consumers looking for wholesome, minimally processed, and environmentally conscious food options. It is emblematic of the challenges faced by individuals trying to navigate the complex landscape of today’s food market. As such, this product does not meet the standards for those aiming to consume cleaner and more natural foods.
