Bolthouse Farms

Rated at 3 out of 5 green leaves, Bolthouse Farms Amazing Mango is an average choice for those seeking cleaner food options. The product is a blend of fruit purees and juices from concentrate, including mango, apple, orange, lemon, and banana. It is not certified organic, nor does it use non-GMO ingredients, which detracts from its overall green leaf rating.

The ingredient list is straightforward, with the majority being fruit-based. However, the inclusion of “natural flavors” prompts caution, as this term can encompass a range of substances, not all of which might align with the goal of cleaner eating. The product also contains beta carotene, added as a source of vitamin A.

Bolthouse Farms Amazing Mango does not contain overtly harmful additives or preservatives, but its lack of organic certification and use of non-GMO ingredients are notable. Consumers seeking the cleanest food products might prefer options that meet these criteria. The presence of natural flavors is also a point of consideration, as it can sometimes mask the inclusion of less desirable ingredients.

This product occupies a middle ground in the market. It offers a fruit-based beverage option that avoids some of the more egregious additives found in other processed foods. However, for those who prioritize organic and non-GMO products, this mango drink does not fully meet those standards. The product is a compromise, providing a fruit-based beverage that falls short of the highest green leaf rating due to these factors.

Bolthouse Farms Amazing Mango might appeal to those who are not strictly organic or non-GMO but are still looking for a product with a simple ingredient list and some nutritional value from fruit content.
