Naked Juice

Rated at 3 out of 5 green leaves, Naked Juice Mighty Mango occupies the middle ground on our scale of cleaner, healthier food options. This product is a blend of mango and banana purees, along with apple, orange, and lemon juices. It also contains added natural flavor and beta carotene, which serves as a source of vitamin A.

The product is not certified organic, which detracts from its overall score as it may be more likely to contain pesticides or other chemicals compared to its organic counterparts. Additionally, the absence of a non-GMO certification means that genetically modified ingredients could be present, further impacting its standing on our scale. The inclusion of ‘natural flavor’ in the ingredient list also leads to deductions, as this term can encompass a broad range of additives, the specifics of which are not disclosed and could potentially be of concern to those seeking the cleanest food options.

Despite these factors, Naked Juice Mighty Mango does offer a combination of fruit purees and juices that could contribute to one’s daily fruit intake. However, the lack of transparency regarding the ‘natural flavor’ and the non-organic, potentially GMO ingredients means that this product does not reach the top tier of our ratings.

For consumers prioritizing cleaner, more natural food products, Naked Juice Mighty Mango presents a middle-of-the-road option. While it is not among the highest-rated items due to the reasons outlined, it also avoids the lowest rating, suggesting that it may be a suitable choice for those who are not strictly limiting their consumption to organic and non-GMO verified foods. It stands as an average choice within the market’s crowded landscape of options, with room for improvement in terms of its ingredient sourcing and transparency.
