Ingredient Score:

The Quest Chocolate Brownie has earned a meager 2 out of 5 green leaves rating. It’s a protein-rich snack that doesn’t meet the standards for organic or non-GMO ingredients, and it contains potentially harmful additives and added sugars.

This product fails to meet the criteria for being organic, which is a significant drawback for those seeking cleaner food options. Additionally, it doesn’t use non-GMO ingredients, meaning that genetically modified organisms are involved in its production. These two factors alone significantly reduce this product’s standing as a healthy alternative.

Further reducing the product’s score is the presence of added sugars. The Quest Chocolate Brownie contains Stevia and Erythritol, two sweeteners that may not be as harmful as others, but are still unnecessary additions. More concerning, however, are the presence of Dextrose and Sucralose. These sugars are not only added, but they are also more harmful to the body, contributing to a range of health issues when consumed in excess.

The product also includes potentially harmful additives. Natural Flavor, Flavor, and Glycerin are ingredients that can have ambiguous origins and potentially harmful effects. These additives are often used to enhance the taste or texture of a product, but their presence in this brownie only serves to further reduce its score.

The Quest Chocolate Brownie, while high in protein, is a product that could benefit from significant improvements. Its lack of organic and non-GMO ingredients, along with the presence of added sugars and potentially harmful additives, detract from its potential as a clean food option. It is clear that there is considerable room for improvement to make this product healthier and more in line with the standards of cleaner food choices. This brownie, as it stands, falls short of providing a truly healthy and clean snack option.
