Rating:     We Avoid

Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Monster Zero-sugar Ultra Blue A.k.a. The Blue Monster is a product that falls significantly short of the clean food standards set by our website. This energy drink is not organic and contains genetically modified ingredients, which immediately impacts its score negatively.

The drink includes a variety of sweeteners such as citric acid, erythritol, sucralose, and acesulfame potassium. The presence of these sweeteners, particularly sucralose and acesulfame potassium, which are considered more harmful, detracts from the product’s overall healthfulness. Additionally, the Monster Zero-sugar Ultra Blue contains several additives like flavors, sodium citrate, and pyridoxine hydrochloride, which contribute to the deduction of points due to potential health concerns.

Of significant concern are the artificial flavors and the colorants Blue #1 and Red #40. These ingredients are known for their harmful effects and are thus heavily penalized in our scoring system. The product is also penalized for the inclusion of artificial flavor, which is mistakenly identified as high fructose corn syrup in the scoring breakdown but is nonetheless a concerning additive.

The product’s comprehensive list of ingredients, lack of organic certification, presence of GMOs, and inclusion of multiple sweeteners and harmful additives lead to its low rating. With a score of 1/5 green leaves, our assessment is clear: the Monster Zero-sugar Ultra Blue is a product that should be avoided by consumers seeking cleaner food options. Its composition does not align with the healthier standards that are necessary for a higher rating on our scale. Therefore, those looking for a healthy energy drink alternative should consider other products that better meet the criteria for clean and healthy ingredients.
