Rating:     We Avoid

Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Reese’s Fast Break Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Candy Bar is not recommended for those seeking cleaner food options. This product does not meet the criteria for a healthier choice due to several factors concerning its ingredients.

The candy bar is not organic, and it contains genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, which may be a concern for individuals prioritizing natural and unaltered food sources. The presence of added sugars, including sugar, citric acid, and fructose, contributes to the product’s low rating. More concerning is the inclusion of dextrose and corn syrup, which are considered more harmful forms of added sugar.

In addition to these sugars, the Reese’s Fast Break bar contains additives that raise health concerns. These include artificial flavors and TBHQ, a preservative that extends shelf life but is questionable in terms of health impact. The presence of these known harmful additives significantly affects the product’s overall score.

The bar also contains several types of oils, including safflower oil, vegetable oil, palm kernel oil, and palm oil. These oils are often heavily processed and may have negative health implications, especially when consumed regularly. Furthermore, the product includes high fructose corn syrup, an ingredient linked to various health issues when consumed in excess.

Consumers looking for cleaner eating options might find this product does not align with their health goals. The combination of non-organic ingredients, GMOs, multiple types of added sugars, potentially harmful additives, and the use of questionable oils contribute to its low rating. With these considerations, the Reese’s Fast Break bar is advised against for those who prioritize their health and seek out purer, less processed food products.
