Ingredient Score:
This product receives a 1/5 green leaf rating. The Edy’s Slow Churned Fudge Tracks Light Ice Cream – No Sugar Added is not organic and contains genetically modified (GMO) ingredients. It includes various sweeteners such as Maltitol and artificial sweeteners like Acesulfame potassium, Sorbitol, and Sucralose. The presence of these ingredients is a concern for those seeking cleaner food options.
Furthermore, the ice cream has additives like Natural Flavor, Flavor, Monoglycerides, Soy Lecithin, Xanthan Gum, and Glycerin. These components are often scrutinized for their potential health impacts. Particularly troubling are Carrageenan, Propylene Glycol, and Maltodextrin, which are known to be harmful. The inclusion of Palm oil also raises questions about the product’s health and environmental implications.
The product is marketed as a lighter, no-sugar-added alternative to traditional ice cream. However, the extensive use of artificial sweeteners and additives may detract from its health appeal. The non-fat milk and cream base is overshadowed by the numerous non-nutritive substances that make up the rest of the product. The presence of Peanut Butter Cups adds to the complexity of the ingredient list, which includes more sweeteners and oils.
The product’s composition reflects a departure from the clean food ethos, as evidenced by the absence of organic certification and the inclusion of GMOs. The variety and quantity of artificial sweeteners and additives overshadow the potential benefits of a no-sugar-added ice cream.
Consumers looking for cleaner, healthier food options might find this product does not align with their dietary preferences. It is positioned at the lowest end of our rating scale, suggesting that there are better choices available for those seeking ice cream with a cleaner ingredient profile.
