Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the M&Ms Caramel Cold Brew M&M’S fall short of healthier food standards as set by our website’s criteria. This product is non-organic and includes genetically modified ingredients, factors that significantly diminish its standing. The presence of added sugars, particularly corn syrup, further detracts from its score, considering the negative health impacts associated with high sugar consumption.
The ingredient list reveals several additives, including artificial flavor and colors like Yellow 6, Red 40, and Blue 1, which are subtracted from the product’s overall score due to their potential harm. Soy lecithin, a common emulsifier, is also present and considered undesirable. The use of hydrogenated vegetable oils, including palm oil, raises concerns due to their association with heart disease and other health issues.
Notably, the product contains high fructose corn syrup, labeled here as artificial flavor, which is linked to various health problems and leads to a significant deduction in the product’s score. These ingredients, especially when combined, pose a risk to consumers seeking clean and healthy food options.
The M&Ms Caramel Cold Brew M&M’S, therefore, receive the lowest possible rating on our scale, reflecting the product’s alignment with numerous ingredients that are at odds with a health-conscious diet. The combination of non-organic ingredients, GMOs, multiple types of added sugars, and the array of artificial additives solidify its position at the bottom of our rating system.
Customers looking for cleaner food options would be advised to steer clear of this product, as it embodies many of the qualities that our ratings system aims to highlight and avoid. The M&Ms Caramel Cold Brew M&M’S, with its extensive list of questionable ingredients, represents a choice inconsistent with the pursuit of a healthier, cleaner diet.
