Ingredient Score:
The Dunkin Donuts Chocolate Creme Stick earns a single green leaf rating, the lowest on our scale, indicating a product that falls significantly short of cleaner food standards. This treat is not organic, and the inclusion of genetically modified ingredients further detracts from its healthfulness. The product also suffers from a high content of added sugars, including sugar, citric acid, and fructose, compounded by the presence of dextrose and corn syrup.
The list of ingredients features several potentially harmful additives, such as natural and artificial flavors, diglycerides, enriched wheat flour, polysorbate 60, soy lecithin, and preservatives like potassium sorbate. Even more concerning is the inclusion of known harmful additives such as artificial flavors, carrageenan, and maltodextrin. The use of oils such as canola, soybean, and palm oil, which have been linked to various health concerns, further diminishes the product’s standing.
Most alarmingly, the Chocolate Creme Stick contains high fructose corn syrup, a sweetener associated with a myriad of health issues when consumed in excess.
The combination of these factors leads to the Chocolate Creme Stick’s low rating. Given the ingredient profile, which includes a range of non-organic, GMO, and potentially harmful components, this product stands as a stark contrast to cleaner, more health-conscious options. Consumers seeking out better food choices are advised to steer clear of this item in favor of alternatives that prioritize natural, whole ingredients without the array of additives and sweeteners found here. The product’s composition makes it a poor choice for those looking to maintain a diet centered around whole, minimally processed foods.
