Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1 out of 5 green leaves, the Edy’s Triple Fudge Brownie Boulevard ice cream scores poorly on our health-conscious scale. This product is not organic and includes genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, which significantly reduces its rating. Further deductions are made due to the presence of added sugars such as molasses and sugar, as well as high-fructose corn syrup and tapioca syrup, which are considered more harmful varieties of sweeteners. The ingredient list also reveals the inclusion of potentially harmful additives like natural flavors, flavor enhancers, monoglycerides, soy lecithin, and xanthan gum. Additionally, the use of soybean oil, categorized under harmful oils, contributes to the low score.
The product is comprised of a mix of skim milk, cream, and a variety of sweeteners and additives to create its fudge brownie flavor profile. The brownie elements include batter swirl with additional sugar and a chocolate brownie mix that introduces more sugar, soybean oil, and eggs into the mix. Brownie brittle pieces, featuring powdered sugar and coconut oil, are also present. The cocoa in the ice cream is processed with alkali, a common method for Dutch-processing cocoa to reduce acidity and improve color. Whey is included in the ice cream base, and texture stabilizers such as guar gum and carob bean gum are used.
The presence of these ingredients, which do not align with cleaner food options, leads to the recommendation to avoid this product. It fails to meet the standards for those seeking healthier alternatives in the saturated market of processed and unhealthy foods. The Edy’s Triple Fudge Brownie Boulevard ice cream, with its low green leaf rating, falls short of providing a clean eating option due to its non-organic nature, GMO content, array of added sugars, potentially harmful additives, and the use of harmful oils.
