Jeni’s Ice Cream

Jeni’s Ice Cream Everything Bagel garners a 1/5 green leaf rating on our clean eating scale, signaling a product that falls short in terms of health and ingredient purity. This ice cream is not organic and includes GMO ingredients, which immediately reduces its standing. Further deductions come from the inclusion of added sugars, such as cane sugar and tapioca syrup, and the presence of potentially harmful additives like natural flavors and xanthan gum.

The product is made with a base of milk, cream, and cane sugar, and features a cream cheese base that includes pasteurized milk and cream, salt, carob bean gum, cheese culture, tapioca syrup, sugar, cream, sea salt, and citric acid. The distinctive “Everything Bagel Gravel” mixed into the ice cream comprises gluten-free flour, unsalted butter, tapioca syrup, cane sugar, sesame seeds, onion, sea salt, poppy seeds, and garlic, which contribute to the product’s unique composition.

Despite the innovative incorporation of gluten-free flour in the mix, the product’s reliance on non-organic, GMO ingredients, and multiple sources of added sugars diminishes its standing as a clean food option. Additionally, the presence of ambiguous ‘natural flavors’ raises questions about their origin and purity, while the use of xanthan gum, though common as a thickening agent, adds another layer of concern for those seeking unadulterated food choices.

Jeni’s Ice Cream Everything Bagel, therefore, is not recommended for consumers aiming to prioritize clean, healthy eating. With its low green leaf rating, this product underscores the importance of scrutinizing ingredient lists and making informed choices in a market that is often saturated with less-than-ideal food options. Our stringent evaluation criteria are designed to steer consumers toward cleaner, more wholesome foods, and this product, unfortunately, does not meet those standards.
