- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1 out of 5 green leaves, the Hood Double Chocolate Mini Ice Cream Sandwich presents a less desirable choice for those seeking cleaner food options. This product is not organic and includes genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, which significantly reduces its score on our scale. Furthermore, the list of ingredients raises concerns regarding the inclusion of added sugars and syrups, such as sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and dextrose, contributing to its low rating.
The presence of potentially harmful additives such as mono & diglycerides, soy lecithin, and carrageenan further diminish the product’s standing. These additives, commonly found in processed foods, have been scrutinized for their potential health impacts. The use of caramel color, a known harmful additive, is particularly troubling due to its classification in certain studies as a possible carcinogen.
Additionally, the ice cream sandwich contains palm oil, which is not only linked to environmental issues like deforestation but is also considered a less healthy oil option due to its saturated fat content. The high fructose corn syrup, a sweetener associated with various health issues, is another significant detractor from the product’s overall score.
Consumers who prioritize clean eating are likely to steer clear of this product based on its ingredients and the associated health and environmental concerns. The Hood Double Chocolate Mini Ice Cream Sandwich falls short of providing a wholesome treat and does not align with the values of those seeking cleaner, more natural food alternatives. This evaluation serves to guide consumers in making informed decisions that support their health and the environment.
