Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Awarding the Quest Chocolate Sprinkled Doughnut a mere 1 out of 5 green leaves, we strongly advise against this product. This non-organic, non-GMO-free option is a poor choice for those seeking clean, healthful foods.
The product contains erythritol, a type of added sugar. Erythritol is a sugar alcohol, which, while less harmful than some sugars, still detracts from the overall healthfulness of the product. The doughnut also contains dextrose and sucralose, more harmful added sugars. These sugars not only contribute to its excessively sweet taste but also to its low score.
Moreover, the Quest Chocolate Sprinkled Doughnut includes various potentially harmful additives. These include natural flavor, unspecified flavor, soy lecithin, and glycerin. These substances can have adverse effects on health and are better avoided.
The product also contains palm kernel oil, a type of harmful oil. Palm oil is not only unhealthy but also environmentally destructive, as its production often involves deforestation and habitat destruction.
The Quest Chocolate Sprinkled Doughnut is not a product we recommend. Despite its tempting name, the doughnut’s low green leaf rating reflects its many unhealthy ingredients. Whether it’s the harmful added sugars, the potentially dangerous additives, or the environmentally unfriendly palm oil, this product is a poor choice for those seeking to eat clean, healthy foods.
The Quest Chocolate Sprinkled Doughnut falls short of the standards we believe food products should meet. Its low green leaf rating of 1 out of 5 is a clear indicator of this. For those committed to clean eating, this product is best left on the shelf. It’s a stark reminder that, in the crowded market of unhealthy products, not all that glitters is gold – or in this case, chocolate.
