Monin

Rated at 2 out of 5 green leaves, the Monin Orange Spritz falls short of meeting the criteria for cleaner food options set by our website. This product is not organic and contains genetically modified ingredients, which significantly impacts its rating. The presence of pure cane sugar and citric acid contributes to its lower score due to their classification as added sugars. Furthermore, the product includes cane sugar, which we identify as a more harmful type of added sugar.

Additionally, the Monin Orange Spritz contains natural flavors, a term that often encompasses a range of undisclosed chemical compounds, raising concerns about potential health impacts. The inclusion of beta-Apo-8′-carotenal for color and vegetable juice also falls into the category of potentially harmful additives, further detracting from the product’s overall score.

The product’s ingredient list reflects a need for reformulation to align with the rising consumer demand for health-conscious and transparent food options. The current composition of the Monin Orange Spritz does not adhere to the standards of consumers seeking out genuinely clean and natural products.

Our assessment underscores the necessity for Monin to revisit its formulation to eliminate GMO ingredients, reduce added sugars, and replace ambiguous additives with more transparent and healthful alternatives. In doing so, the product would better serve those looking for cleaner, more wholesome food choices in a market that is increasingly aware of the implications of ingredient quality on overall health.
