Ingredient Score:

Hershey’s KISSES Lava Cake Dark Chocolate Candy receives a 1/5 green leaf rating, indicating a product that falls short in providing cleaner food options. This score reflects the presence of multiple ingredients that raise health concerns and a lack of organic certification.
The product is not organic, and it does not use non-GMO ingredients. Within its composition, it includes added sugars such as sugar, corn syrup, and invert syrup, which contribute to the overall negative rating due to their associated health risks. Sorbitol, another sweetener present, further exacerbates the issue, as it is considered a more harmful added sugar. The inclusion of potentially harmful additives like lecithin (soy), disodium phosphate, baking soda, and PGPR adds to the list of concerns.
Artificial flavors, which are known to be harmful, are also a component of this confectionery. These ingredients are often linked to potential health risks and are best avoided in the pursuit of cleaner eating. Notably, the product is penalized for containing high fructose corn syrup, although it is not explicitly listed in the ingredients, it may be part of the artificial flavors used.
Given these factors, Hershey’s KISSES Lava Cake Dark Chocolate Candy is not recommended for those seeking healthier, cleaner food alternatives. Its composition reflects a disregard for the rising consumer demand for products free from additives, GMOs, and excessive sugars. The 1/5 green leaf rating serves as a clear indicator that this product does not align with the standards of cleaner, more wholesome food choices. The product’s formulation, with its array of non-organic, genetically modified, and potentially harmful ingredients, positions it at the lowest end of the health-conscious scale.
