Ingredient Score:
Rated at 3 out of 5 green leaves, the Guayaki Yerba Mate Revel Berry offers a middle-ground choice for those seeking cleaner food options. This product does not fully meet the criteria for the highest standards of health and organic content, yet it avoids the bottom tier by incorporating non-GMO ingredients and a selection of organic components.
The Guayaki Yerba Mate Revel Berry is not entirely organic, which is a significant factor in its rating. The presence of organic cane sugar, while preferable to non-organic alternatives, still contributes to the product’s reduced score due to the negative health impacts associated with added sugars. Citric acid, another additive, is commonly used in food products but carries a point deduction for its role as an added sugar.
Further scrutiny reveals the inclusion of natural flavors. These ingredients often lack transparency, making it challenging to determine their healthfulness or potential side effects. Consequently, the product loses additional points. Despite these drawbacks, the Guayaki Yerba Mate Revel Berry does have positive aspects, such as the use of non-GMO ingredients and fair-trade certified components, which contribute to its overall rating.
The beverage contains organic yerba mate extract, yumberry juice concentrate, brewed yerba mate, hibiscus flower, and organic caffeine—all of which align with the website’s aim to promote cleaner food options. These ingredients provide a foundation of natural and beneficial elements that support the product’s mid-range rating.
The Guayaki Yerba Mate Revel Berry sits at an equilibrium, straddling the line between health-conscious and areas for improvement. While it incorporates several commendable organic and non-GMO ingredients, it is pulled down by the presence of added sugars and ambiguous natural flavors. For consumers prioritizing cleaner foods, this product represents a compromise, offering some desirable qualities but also leaving room for better alternatives that adhere more strictly to organic and no-additive principles.
