Ingredient Score:

The Blue Bunny Neapolitan ice cream receives a 1/5 green leaf rating on our website, signaling that this product falls short in our criteria for cleaner food options. The rating reflects the presence of multiple ingredients that raise concerns regarding health and environmental impact.

This ice cream is not organic, and it does not use non-GMO ingredients, which immediately impacts its standing. A significant concern with the Blue Bunny Neapolitan is the assortment of added sugars it contains, such as sugar, citric acid, and high fructose corn syrup, which contribute to the product’s low score. High fructose corn syrup, in particular, is a contentious ingredient due to its link with various health issues when consumed in large quantities.

Moreover, the ice cream includes several potentially harmful additives like natural and artificial flavors, mono and diglycerides, and xanthan gum. These are common in processed foods but are often flagged for their artificial nature and potential health effects. Known harmful additives such as artificial flavors, caramel color, and carrageenan are also present, further reducing the product’s score. These specific additives have been associated with adverse health effects and are therefore penalized more heavily in our evaluation.

The Blue Bunny Neapolitan is an example of a product that does not align with the goal of providing cleaner, healthier food options. The extensive list of non-organic, GMO, and additive-laden ingredients positions this ice cream as a choice to be avoided for those seeking a diet with fewer processed components and sugars. Our assessment aims to guide consumers towards products that support a healthier lifestyle and a more sustainable food system. This product, with its 1/5 green leaf rating, does not meet the standards set by our website for a clean and healthy food choice.
