Ingredient Score:

Rating: (1/5 Green Leaves)
The M&Ms Peanut Butter M&M’S earn the lowest rating on our scale with only 1 out of 5 green leaves. This product is not certified organic and does not use non-GMO ingredients. The presence of added sugars is a significant concern, particularly the inclusion of sugar, dextrose, and corn syrup, which are detrimental to the aim of cleaner food options. Furthermore, the product contains several potentially harmful additives, including natural and artificial flavors, soy lecithin, and various artificial colors like Yellow 6 and Red 40.
More concerning is the presence of additives classified as known harmful substances, such as Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1, Blue 2, and Red 40. These are synthetic dyes which have been linked to health issues and are better avoided in a diet focused on clean eating. Additionally, the product contains palm oil and hydrogenated palm kernel oil, which are not only harmful to health due to their saturated fat content but also to the environment, as palm oil production is a major driver of deforestation.
The product’s ingredient list reflects a composition that is at odds with the principles of clean eating. The use of potentially harmful oils, artificial flavors, and colors, as well as the lack of organic and non-GMO ingredients, greatly diminishes its standing as a healthier food choice. This product does not align with the values of those seeking cleaner, more natural food options in an already saturated market of processed and unhealthy snacks.
The M&Ms Peanut Butter M&M’S are not recommended for those looking to maintain a diet centered on health and wellness. The score reflects a product that fails to meet the standards for clean eating, emphasizing the importance of examining labels and making informed choices in pursuit of a healthier lifestyle.
