Ingredient Score:

Our green leaf rating for Hershey’s KISSES Easter Vanilla Frosting Candy is 1 out of 5, the lowest rating on our scale. This rating reflects our commitment to guiding consumers towards cleaner, healthier food choices. Our evaluation process is rigorous, focusing on the presence of organic ingredients, the use of non-GMO components, and the exclusion of added sugars and harmful additives or oils.

The Hershey’s KISSES Easter Vanilla Frosting Candy is not organic, a factor that significantly reduces its score. Moreover, the product does not use non-GMO ingredients, further impacting the rating negatively. Added sugars are a primary component of this candy, which is a major concern for those seeking healthier food options. The inclusion of sugar as a key ingredient detracts from the nutritional value of the product.

In addition to the above, the candy contains several ingredients that raise health concerns. Natural flavors, which are often a disguise for a variety of unspecified additives, contribute to the low score. Similarly, lecithin (soy), while commonly used as an emulsifier in chocolate, is flagged in our review due to its potential as a harmful additive.

The oils used in this product also contribute to its low rating. Canola oil, palm kernel oil, and palm oil are included in the list of ingredients, all of which are viewed critically in our assessment. These oils are often processed and may have negative health implications, which is why their presence affects the product’s score adversely.

Hershey’s KISSES Easter Vanilla Frosting Candy receives the minimum green leaf rating due to these factors. Our assessment is grounded in the pursuit of cleaner food options, and this product does not meet the standards set by our rating system. We advise consumers to avoid this product and seek out alternatives that prioritize organic, non-GMO ingredients without added sugars and harmful oils or additives.
