Ingredient Score:
Rating:
The Blue Bunny Sweet Freedom Vanilla ice cream has earned a green leaf rating of 1/5 on our scale, indicating that it falls short of the cleaner food options we advocate for. This product is not organic and includes genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, which resulted in deductions from its overall score. Additionally, the presence of added sugars, particularly maltitol, and artificial sweeteners like acesulfame potassium and sucralose, further reduce its standing on our health-conscious scale.
The product’s ingredient list reveals several components that raise concerns. It includes a range of potentially harmful additives such as natural and artificial flavors, mono and diglycerides, and various gums like xanthan and cellulose. More notably, it contains substances that are recognized as harmful additives, including artificial flavors, carrageenan, and propylene glycol. Maltodextrin, another ingredient flagged for its potential negative health impact, is also present.
Despite the product being marketed as a “Sweet Freedom” option, the inclusion of these ingredients contradicts the ethos of providing a cleaner alternative in the ice cream category. The product does not contain organic ingredients, and the absence of non-GMO components further detracts from its appeal to health-conscious consumers.
The Blue Bunny Sweet Freedom Vanilla ice cream’s low rating reflects our commitment to guiding consumers towards healthier and more natural food choices. The multitude of additives, artificial sweeteners, and GMO ingredients found within this product are at odds with this mission. As such, we advise customers to consider alternative options that align more closely with the pursuit of a clean and wholesome diet.
