Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Blue Bunny Peanut Butter Party ice cream is a product that falls significantly short of the cleaner food options we advocate for on our website. This dessert is not organic, and it contains genetically modified ingredients, both factors contributing to its low rating.
The ingredient list reveals multiple instances of added sugars, including sugar and high fructose corn syrup, which are detrimental to those seeking a healthier diet. The presence of high fructose corn syrup is particularly concerning, as it has been linked to numerous health issues when consumed in excess. The product also includes corn syrup, which is another form of added sugar that we recommend avoiding.
Further scrutiny of the ingredients shows the inclusion of potentially harmful additives such as natural flavors and mono and diglycerides. These additives are often used to enhance taste and texture but can have questionable effects on health. Soy lecithin, xanthan gum, and carrageenan are also present; carrageenan is especially notorious for its potential inflammatory properties and is a substance we strongly advise against.
Moreover, the ice cream contains oils deemed harmful, including peanut oil and palm oil. Palm oil production has been associated with environmental concerns and may have health implications when processed.
The product’s composition, heavy in added sugars, GMOs, and controversial additives, places it at the lowest end of our health-conscious scale. It does not meet the criteria for those seeking clean and wholesome food options. The Blue Bunny Peanut Butter Party ice cream is not recommended for consumers aiming to maintain a clean and healthy diet. Instead, better choices are available that align with the values of nutritionally sound and environmentally responsible food production.
