Ingredient Score:
The Lucky Charms Magic Marshmallows gain a dismal 1/5 green leaf rating, reflecting its poor standing as a cleaner food option. The product’s composition leaves much to be desired, with a host of harmful ingredients and non-organic, GMO components.
The product is not organic, and it does not use non-GMO ingredients. It contains added sugars, with Sugar, Dextrose, and Corn Syrup being the primary culprits. These sweeteners are not just harmful, but they are also excessive, contributing to health risks such as obesity and diabetes.
Furthermore, it has a plethora of potentially harmful additives. These include Natural and Artificial Flavors, Red 40, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, and more. These additives can lead to a variety of health problems, from allergies to more severe long-term health effects. It’s noteworthy that the product also includes known harmful additives such as Yellow 5, Blue 1, and Red 40. These artificial colors have been linked to a range of adverse health effects, making them a significant concern.
The product also contains Palm, a harmful oil associated with heart disease and other health issues. Moreover, it has Artificial Flavor, a pseudonym for High Fructose Corn Syrup, which is notorious for its links to obesity, diabetes, and liver disease.
The Lucky Charms Magic Marshmallows present a concerning picture of a food product that is far from clean or healthy. The product is replete with harmful ingredients and additives, and it lacks the qualities of a cleaner food option, such as being organic or free from GMOs. It is a product best left on the shelf, with a 1/5 green leaf rating that serves as a stark warning to those seeking healthier food options. The search for cleaner, healthier food choices continues, and unfortunately, the Lucky Charms Magic Marshmallows do not make the cut.
