Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Edy’s Slow Churned Cookies ‘n Cream receives a rating of 1 out of 5 green leaves on our website, signaling a product with multiple concerns regarding its ingredients and overall health impact. This ice cream is not organic and includes genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, factors that contribute to its lower rating. The presence of added sugars, such as corn syrup, raises additional health concerns, as excessive consumption of these sugars is linked to various health issues.
The product also contains several ingredients that are considered potentially harmful, such as natural flavors and enriched wheat flour, which may contain additives not always disclosed on the label. Monoglycerides and soy lecithin are included as emulsifiers, and xanthan gum is used as a stabilizer; these are commonly used in processed foods but can be a cause for concern for those seeking cleaner food options.
More alarming are ingredients like carrageenan and propylene glycol, which have been associated with negative health effects in some studies. Edy’s Slow Churned Cookies ‘n Cream also features oils that are often criticized for their environmental impact and potential health risks, specifically soybean oil and palm oil.
The combination of non-organic ingredients, GMOs, multiple forms of added sugars, and a range of controversial additives and oils leads to the conclusion that this product does not align with the aim of providing cleaner food options. Consumers looking for healthier alternatives would be advised to consider other products that prioritize organic, non-GMO ingredients without the inclusion of these additives and oils. The low green leaf rating reflects the product’s position at the bottom of the scale in our assessment, underscoring the recommendation to avoid it for those seeking healthier, less processed ice cream choices.
