Ingredient Score:

Edy’s Slow Churned Vanilla Bean ice cream receives a 1/5 green leaf rating on our website, signaling a product that falls short in meeting the criteria for cleaner food options. This product is not organic, a factor that contributes significantly to its low score. In addition, the ice cream is not made with non-GMO ingredients, further diminishing its standing.

The presence of added sugars, specifically sugar and corn syrup, raises concerns. These ingredients are known to be less healthy, and their inclusion in the ice cream negatively affects its rating. The product also contains polydextrose and soluble corn fiber, which are considered additional harmful sugars and contribute to the product’s low score.

Moreover, the ingredient list reveals additives such as mono and diglycerides, carob bean gum, guar gum, and natural flavor. These are potentially harmful and are typically avoided by those seeking cleaner food options. Notably, the product does not actually contain palm oil, an ingredient often scrutinized for its health implications and environmental impact. However, the mention of potentially harmful oils in the scoring criteria may refer to the inclusion of mono and diglycerides, which are sometimes derived from palm oil or other oils.

The product also contains whey, a derivative of milk, and vitamins such as Vitamin A Palmitate, which is often added to fortify dairy products.

Given the analysis of its ingredients, Edy’s Slow Churned Vanilla Bean ice cream holds the lowest possible green leaf rating on our scale. With its non-organic status, GMO ingredients, added sugars, and presence of potentially harmful additives, it represents a choice that does not align with the objectives of our website, which is to highlight cleaner, healthier food options. Consumers seeking products that fit within a more natural and health-conscious diet are advised to consider alternative options that better align with these values.
