Rating: We Avoid

Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Blue Bunny Load’d Sundaes® Turtle Cheesecake represents a choice best avoided for those seeking cleaner food options. This product is not organic and contains genetically modified ingredients, which already detracts significantly from its potential clean food status.

The ingredient list reveals several concerns. Added sugars, such as sugar and fructose, contribute to the product’s high sugar content. More alarming is the presence of dextrose and corn syrup, which are considered more harmful forms of added sugars. The product also includes high fructose corn syrup, an ingredient associated with numerous health risks when consumed in excess.

The presence of potentially harmful additives is another issue. This includes general flavorings, diglycerides, soy lecithin, xanthan gum, sodium citrate, and glycerin. Even more concerning is the use of artificial flavors and carrageenan, both known for their controversial health implications.

Harmful oils, such as palm oil, are used in the product’s formulation. Palm oil production is often criticized for its environmental impact, and its inclusion in food products raises both health and ecological concerns.

The Blue Bunny Load’d Sundaes® Turtle Cheesecake is a product surrounded by red flags for those interested in clean eating. Its composition does not align with a diet that prioritizes natural, organic, and minimally processed foods. The combination of non-organic ingredients, GMOs, various forms of added sugars, potentially harmful additives, known harmful additives, and environmentally contentious oils solidifies its low rating. For consumers prioritizing health and sustainability, this product does not meet the standards of a cleaner, healthier food option.
