- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Hood Red Sox BoSox Brownie Frozen Dairy Dessert stands as an option to be cautious of for those seeking cleaner food products. The dessert is not organic and includes genetically modified ingredients, which immediately impacts its standing on a health-conscious scale.
The ingredient list reveals multiple types of added sugars, including brown sugar, sugar, and fructose, contributing to its low score. Corn syrup, a more concerning sweetener due to its potential health implications, is also present. The product includes a variety of additives such as natural and artificial flavors, mono and diglycerides, and soy lecithin, which are seen as potentially harmful. More alarming is the inclusion of artificial flavor, carrageenan, and maltodextrin, recognized as known harmful additives.
Furthermore, the dessert contains oils that are often considered detrimental to health, specifically soybean oil and palm oil. The use of enriched wheat flour adds another layer of concern due to the processing involved. The presence of these ingredients, which are either non-organic, GMO, or potentially harmful to health, has led to the assignment of the lowest possible rating.
The product’s composition reflects a common trend in frozen desserts where the pursuit of flavor and texture takes precedence over nutritional value. The extensive use of additives and sweeteners, combined with the lack of organic and non-GMO ingredients, positions this product as one that does not align with the values of those seeking cleaner, healthier food options.
For individuals prioritizing health and ingredient transparency, the Hood Red Sox BoSox Brownie Frozen Dairy Dessert is not recommended. The 1/5 green leaf rating serves as a clear indicator that this product falls short of providing a clean eating option amidst a market saturated with healthier alternatives.
