Magnum

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Magnum Double Caramel Ice Cream Bar falls at the bottom of our cleaner food options due to its extensive list of non-organic, potentially harmful ingredients, and the presence of GMOs. This frozen treat is not organic and includes genetically modified elements, which already sets it back in our ratings system.

The product’s ingredient list is laden with added sugars, including basic sugar and fructose, as well as high fructose corn syrup, which raises concerns for health-conscious consumers. The inclusion of corn syrup amplifies the negative impact on its score. The presence of various additives such as natural flavors, diglycerides, soy lecithin, potassium sorbate, sodium citrate, and caramel color further diminishes its standing. Particularly, caramel color and carrageenan stand out for their potential adverse health effects.

Additionally, the ice cream bar contains soybean oil, which is considered a harmful oil in the context of our scoring criteria. The combination of these elements contributes to the product’s minimal green leaf rating. The non-organic status and the use of GMOs compound the issues found within the ingredients list.

The Magnum Double Caramel Ice Cream Bar is encased in a Belgian milk chocolate coating, which, while potentially appealing to consumers, does not mitigate the concerns regarding the product’s composition. The caramel sauce and additional chocolatey coating, although contributing to the product’s indulgent nature, include elements that are in discord with the principles of cleaner eating.

The product’s overall score reflects a culmination of factors that are at odds with the promotion of clean food options. The Magnum Double Caramel Ice Cream Bar, with its array of unwanted ingredients and lack of organic certification, is not recommended for those seeking healthier alternatives in the market. It is clear that this item does not align with the values of providing cleaner, more healthful food choices.
