Monin

Rated at 2 out of 5 green leaves, the Monin White Peach scores low on our scale for cleaner food options. This product is a non-organic syrup that includes both pure cane sugar and additional natural flavors, which contributes to its lower rating.

The Monin White Peach is not certified organic, a factor that significantly reduces its score. The presence of GMO ingredients further detracts from its overall rating. Added sugars are a notable concern in this product, with pure cane sugar listed as a primary ingredient. Citric acid, while common as a preservative and flavor enhancer, is also considered an added sugar and affects the product’s score negatively.

A substantial deduction in the product’s rating comes from the inclusion of cane sugar, which is a form of added sugar that consumers often seek to minimize in their pursuit of healthier food options. Additionally, the product contains natural flavors—a term that encompasses a range of possible ingredients, some of which may be undesirable to health-conscious consumers looking for transparency and simplicity in ingredient lists.

The use of potentially harmful additives is another critical aspect that impacts the product’s low score. The term ‘natural flavor’ on a label often lacks specificity, making it difficult for consumers to determine the exact nature of the ingredients and their potential health effects.

The Monin White Peach, with its combination of non-organic status, GMO ingredients, added sugars, and ambiguous natural flavors, does not align with the standards of cleaner, healthier food products that our website advocates. While it may offer a peach flavoring solution for food and beverages, its composition falls short of the criteria for a higher green leaf rating. Customers seeking cleaner, more natural food options will find that this product does not meet the standards for a health-conscious diet. Therefore, it garners a lower green leaf rating on our scale.
