Ingredient Score:
Rated at 2/5 green leaves, Jeni’s Ice Cream Milkiest Chocolate is a product that stands out for its commitment to using organic ingredients. However, it falls short in other areas critical to those seeking the cleanest food options. The product is not non-GMO, which is a significant concern for many health-conscious consumers.
The ice cream contains multiple sources of added sugars, including cane sugar and tapioca syrup. These ingredients are often flagged for their potential impact on health, particularly when consumed in excess. The presence of these sugars contributes to the product’s lower rating, as they do not align with the goal of providing cleaner food options.
Moreover, the inclusion of a milkiest base which contains sweetened condensed nonfat milk, honey, and additional sugar and cocoa butter, adds to the list of ingredients that detract from the product’s overall health profile. While the milk and cream base is a standard for ice cream, the addition of processed components such as cocoa powder treated with alkali raises questions about the necessity of these alterations.
This ice cream does not fully embrace the principles of clean eating, due to its use of added sugars and lack of non-GMO verification. Although it incorporates some organic ingredients, the product does not completely fulfill the criteria for those seeking the purest and most natural options in their diet. Consumers aiming for maximum health benefits might look elsewhere for ice cream that aligns more closely with their dietary preferences. The 2/5 green leaves rating reflects the product’s position as one that has room for improvement in the realm of clean eating.
