Rating:     We Avoid

Ingredient Score:

Rating: 1/5 Green Leaves

The Hershey’s Sugar Cookie Candy Bar receives our lowest green leaf rating due to its composition of ingredients that fail to align with our standards for cleaner food options. The bar is not organic and includes genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which are significant factors in our assessment. Added sugars, such as sugar and corn syrup, contribute to its negative rating, as we prioritize products with natural, unrefined sweeteners.

Further analysis reveals the presence of potentially harmful additives like natural and artificial flavors, as well as known harmful additives including artificial colors Yellow 5, Blue 1, and Red 40. These ingredients are often scrutinized for their potential health impacts and their inclusion in this candy bar detracts substantially from its overall score. The product also contains high fructose corn syrup, an ingredient associated with various health concerns, which exacerbates the negative assessment.

Our scoring system is stringent, designed to highlight products that offer healthier, cleaner eating options. The Hershey’s Sugar Cookie Candy Bar does not meet the criteria we’ve established for a product to be considered a cleaner food choice. It includes multiple ingredients that are at odds with our mission to recommend foods that contribute to a healthier lifestyle.

We advise consumers to be cautious with this product, as it contains a range of ingredients that are not in line with our values of promoting clean eating. For those seeking healthier alternatives, we recommend exploring options that prioritize organic ingredients, avoid GMOs, and exclude added sugars and artificial additives. The Hershey’s Sugar Cookie Candy Bar, with a rating of 1/5 green leaves, is not recommended for those looking to adhere to a cleaner diet.
