Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Chobani Flip® Mint Chocolate Chip scores low on our clean food scale. The product fails to meet our criteria for cleaner food options, primarily due to its composition and sourcing practices. It is not certified organic and does not use non-GMO ingredients, which immediately impacts its standing.
The presence of added sugars, including cane sugar, detracts further from the product’s score, as we prioritize items with natural sweetness. The inclusion of natural flavors, soy lecithin, and particularly caramel color raises concerns. Caramel color, a known harmful additive, is a significant detractor due to its potential health implications.
Additionally, the use of vegetable oils, such as palm and palm kernel oil, is problematic. These oils are not only considered harmful due to processing methods and health effects but also raise environmental concerns related to their production.
The product contains multiple allergens, including milk, wheat, and soy, and is manufactured in a facility that also handles tree nuts and peanuts, making it unsuitable for individuals with allergies to these ingredients.
The Chobani Flip® Mint Chocolate Chip, while a popular choice among consumers looking for a dessert-inspired yogurt, falls short in our assessment of cleaner food options. The product’s ingredient list reflects a reliance on additives and non-organic components that conflict with a health-conscious approach to eating.
Customers searching for healthier, more environmentally responsible food products would be advised to seek alternatives that are organic, non-GMO, and free from harmful additives and sweeteners. In the pursuit of cleaner eating, this product does not align with the high standards many consumers are now setting for their food choices.
