Ingredient Score:

The Quest Dipped Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough earns a disappointing 1/5 green leaves, marking it as a product best avoided for those seeking cleaner food options. This product, while seemingly a tempting treat, is packed with ingredients that detract from its health value.

The lack of organic and non-GMO ingredients immediately raises red flags, indicating a product that is not aligned with the goal of promoting healthier and cleaner eating. The addition of sugars, both Stevia and Erythritol, further detracts from the product’s health value, contributing to its low rating.

More concerning, however, is the presence of even more harmful added sugars like Dextrose and Sucralose. These sugars not only add unnecessary sweetness but also pose potential health risks. The inclusion of such ingredients is a direct contradiction to the mission of offering healthier food choices.

Alongside these sugars, the product also contains potentially harmful additives such as Natural Flavor, Flavor, and Glycerin. These additives may enhance the taste and texture of the product, but they also contribute to its low health score.

Finally, the use of Palm Kernel Oil and Palm oil, notorious for their health and environmental impacts, further reduces the product’s score. Such oils are high in saturated fats and their production often leads to deforestation, making them a poor choice for those conscious about both their health and the environment.

The Quest Dipped Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, despite its appealing name, is a product that falls short in offering a cleaner, healthier food option. Its lack of organic and non-GMO ingredients, coupled with the addition of harmful sugars, additives, and oils, earns it a low 1/5 green leaves rating. For those seeking healthier alternatives in a market saturated with unhealthier options, this product is best left on the shelf.
