Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, Froot Loops with Marshmallows falls at the lowest end of our health-conscious scale. This product is not organic and includes genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, factors that significantly detract from its standing on our site. The cereal’s composition includes added sugars, such as sugar, corn syrup, and dextrose, which contribute to its low rating. Additionally, the presence of several potentially harmful additives, including artificial colors and flavors, further impacts the score negatively.
Froot Loops with Marshmallows contains a blend of corn flour, wheat flour, and whole grain oat flour, along with a variety of ingredients that raise concerns. These include modified food starch, vegetable oils like hydrogenated coconut, soybean, and cottonseed oil, and maltodextrin. The cereal also features marshmallows, which are colored using artificial dyes such as Yellow 5, Red 40, Yellow 6, and Blue 1. The product’s preservation relies on BHT, a synthetic antioxidant that has been subject to scrutiny over potential health effects.
In the realm of nutrition, the cereal is fortified with vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin C, reduced iron, and various B vitamins. However, the beneficial impact of these added nutrients is overshadowed by the negative aspects of the other ingredients.
Our evaluation criteria focus on the purity and healthfulness of food products, and Froot Loops with Marshmallows does not meet the standards for a clean and healthy option. The use of non-organic, GMO ingredients, combined with the inclusion of added sugars and potentially harmful additives, oils, and artificial colors, results in the product’s low score. The cereal’s make-up reflects a composition that prioritizes flavor and preservation over nutritional quality.
Consumers seeking cleaner food choices are advised to steer clear of this product, as it does not align with the values of a health-oriented diet. The 1/5 green leaf rating serves as a clear indicator that Froot Loops with Marshmallows is not recommended for those aiming to make healthier food selections.
