Rating:     Not Clean

Ingredient Score:

Rated at 2 out of 5 green leaves, the Luna Mash-Ups™: LemonZest® + Coconut bar falls short of being a clean food option. This product does not fully commit to organic ingredients, which detracts from its potential health benefits. The presence of several added sugars, including cane sugar and brown rice syrup, contribute to its low rating. Additionally, glucose syrup and cane syrup amplify the sweetener content, raising concerns over sugar intake.

The bar also includes ingredients that may be considered harmful by some consumers. The use of natural flavors, soy lecithin, and glycerin raises questions about the product’s purity and the potential for unwanted side effects. Furthermore, the inclusion of soybean oil, palm kernel oil, and palm oil, which have ecological and health implications, further reduce the product’s appeal to those seeking cleaner food choices.

Despite the product’s use of non-GMO ingredients, its overall composition does not align with the highest standards for clean eating. The combination of non-organic components, multiple forms of added sugars, and questionable additives and oils result in a product that does not fully support a health-conscious lifestyle.

The Luna Mash-Ups™: LemonZest® + Coconut bar, with its 2 out of 5 green leaves rating, clearly has room for improvement. By replacing harmful oils with healthier alternatives, eliminating added sugars, and committing to fully organic ingredients, the product could significantly improve its standing. Until then, it remains a less desirable option for those dedicated to cleaner eating.
