Magnum

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Magnum Non-Dairy Sea Salt Caramel Bar falls short of the healthier food options we advocate for on our website. This product is not organic and contains a range of ingredients that raise concerns regarding its nutritional profile and potential health impact.

The bar includes both sugar and glucose-fructose syrup, contributing to its high added sugar content. The presence of glucose-fructose syrup, derived from wheat, is particularly troubling as it is a more harmful type of added sugar. Additionally, the product contains natural flavor, mono and diglycerides, and caramel color, which are categorized as potentially harmful additives. Caramel color is especially concerning as it is recognized as a known harmful additive.

While the bar does utilize non-GMO ingredients, this positive aspect is overshadowed by the negative attributes. The inclusion of pea protein and coconut oil does not compensate for the product’s overall composition, which is heavy in additives and non-organic ingredients.

The bar’s ingredient list suggests a focus on taste and texture, possibly at the expense of nutritional value. The use of multiple thickeners and emulsifiers, such as guar gum, locust bean gum, and distilled monoglycerides, indicates a processed nature that is at odds with our criteria for cleaner food options.

The Magnum Non-Dairy Sea Salt Caramel Bar is not recommended for those seeking cleaner, healthier food products. Its low score reflects a combination of non-organic ingredients, excessive added sugars, and the use of additives that could potentially be harmful. Consumers are encouraged to seek alternatives that prioritize organic ingredients and minimal processing to align with a cleaner diet.
