- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Blue Bunny Mini Swirls® Caramel does not meet the standards for clean eating as defined by our website. This product falls short in several key areas of ingredient quality and sourcing, resulting in its low rating.
The product is not organic, which immediately impacts its score due to the potential presence of pesticides and other chemicals associated with non-organic farming practices. It also does not use non-GMO ingredients, raising concerns about genetic modification and its associated risks. Added sugars, such as sugar and corn syrup, contribute to the product’s negative assessment, as they are linked to various health issues when consumed in excess.
Further deductions are made for the inclusion of potentially harmful additives like natural flavors, diglycerides, and soy lecithin. These ingredients are often processed and may have questionable effects on health. Xanthan gum, while common in processed foods, also contributes to the reduced score. The presence of carrageenan, a known harmful additive due to its inflammatory properties and potential digestive issues, significantly affects the overall rating.
Harmful oils, including soybean oil, palm kernel oil, and palm oil, are penalized as well. These oils are not only associated with environmental concerns, such as deforestation and habitat destruction, but they may also have negative health implications due to their processing methods and saturated fat content.
The Blue Bunny Mini Swirls® Caramel, with its array of non-organic, potentially GMO, and processed ingredients, is not recommended for those seeking cleaner food options. The product’s composition reflects a departure from the ideals of health and sustainability that are vital to conscious consumers. The low green leaf rating emphasizes the need for more transparent and health-conscious choices in the crowded market of frozen desserts.
