Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
The Blue Bunny Load’d Sundaes® Peanut Butter Bunny® earns a rating of 1 out of 5 green leaves. This evaluation reflects serious concerns regarding its ingredient composition, which aligns poorly with the criteria for cleaner food options. The product is not organic and contains genetically modified ingredients, factors that contribute to its low score.
The sundae features a variety of added sugars including sugar, dextrose, corn syrup, and high fructose corn syrup, which are detrimental to its rating. These sugars contribute to the product’s excessive sweetness and are ingredients that health-conscious consumers often seek to limit. Furthermore, the presence of high fructose corn syrup is particularly disconcerting due to its association with health issues when consumed in large quantities.
Additionally, the product contains several additives like mono and diglycerides, soy lecithin, xanthan gum, glycerin, and artificial flavors. These substances are often used to enhance texture and shelf life but are flagged as potentially harmful. Carrageenan, also found in the product, is a known harmful additive that has been linked to gastrointestinal discomfort and inflammation.
The inclusion of peanut oil is another point of concern. While oils can be a valuable source of fat in a diet, certain processing methods can strip them of nutritional value and introduce harmful compounds.
The product does not meet the standards for those seeking cleaner, more natural food options. It falls short in several areas, including the use of organic and non-GMO ingredients, and its reliance on added sugars and questionable additives. Health-conscious consumers are advised to consider alternatives that align more closely with the principles of clean eating.
