Rating: We Avoid

Ingredient Score:

Rating: 1/5 Green Leaves

The Noosa Yogurt Honey Vanilla Bean Frozen Yoghurt Gelato receives a 1/5 green leaves rating on our scale, signaling that it falls short of the cleaner food options we aim to highlight. This frozen dessert is not organic and contains genetically modified ingredients. It also includes added sugars and potentially harmful additives, which detract from its overall health profile.

The product’s ingredient list reveals the presence of cream, skim milk, cane sugar, whole milk yoghurt, water, honey, and several thickeners and stabilizers such as tapioca starch, locust bean gum, guar gum, and pectin. The inclusion of vanilla extract, lemon juice concentrate, natural flavor, vanilla beans, and salt adds to the complexity of its composition. However, it is the addition of caramel color that raises the most significant concern due to its association with adverse health effects.

The absence of organic certification means that the product has lost points in our evaluation, as we prioritize foods produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. Moreover, the lack of non-GMO verification contributes to the low score, reflecting our commitment to promoting foods free from genetically modified organisms.

Furthermore, cane sugar is listed as an ingredient, which leads to a reduction in score due to the negative impact of added sugars on health. The terms ‘natural flavor’ and ‘flavor’ often encompass a range of substances that are not always transparent to the consumer, prompting a cautious approach. The presence of caramel color is particularly concerning; as a known harmful additive, it is one of the main reasons for the low rating assigned to this product.

The Noosa Yogurt Honey Vanilla Bean Frozen Yoghurt Gelato is positioned at the bottom of our green leaves rating system. The product contains several elements that do not align with our mission to offer cleaner and healthier food choices. Consumers seeking alternatives that better meet these criteria may consider other options within the frozen dessert category.
