Ingredient Score:

Awarding only 1 out of 5 green leaves, the Hershey’s COOKIES ‘N’ CREME Candy Bars fall at the bottom of our rating scale, urging consumers to consider healthier alternatives. This product is not organic, and it relies on non-GMO ingredients, which immediately reduces its standing within our evaluation system. The presence of added sugars, including basic sugar and fructose, further detracts from its potential score.

The ingredient list reveals a greater cause for concern with the inclusion of corn syrup, a less desirable sweetener. Moreover, the product contains high fructose corn syrup, an ingredient that is often criticized for its negative health impacts. The use of both natural and artificial flavors, along with enriched wheat flour, raises additional red flags due to their potential as harmful additives.

Our review process is rigorous and aims to highlight food products that promote health and well-being. In the case of the Hershey’s COOKIES ‘N’ CREME Candy Bars, the extensive use of additives and non-organic ingredients falls short of the standards we advocate for cleaner food options. The product’s composition, dominated by various forms of sugars and artificial components, positions it as an option to avoid for those seeking nourishing and wholesome food choices.

The green leaf rating system is designed to guide consumers toward foods that contribute positively to their health. In a market saturated with products that may not support a healthy lifestyle, the Hershey’s COOKIES ‘N’ CREME Candy Bars exemplify the type of product our rating system advises against. It stands as a clear example of what consumers might choose to bypass in their quest for cleaner, more beneficial food options.
