Rating: We Avoid

Ingredient Score:

Awarded a 1/5 green leaf rating, Rockstar Silver Ice ranks low on our scale for cleaner food options. This rating reflects the presence of multiple ingredients that raise concerns about the product’s health implications.

Rockstar Silver Ice is not an organic product, which detracts from its overall score. Additionally, it does not use non-GMO ingredients, further impacting its standing. The inclusion of added sugars, such as citric acid and erythritol, contributes to its low rating. More concerning is the presence of acesulfame potassium and sucralose, artificial sweeteners that are linked to negative health effects.

The beverage also contains a range of potentially harmful additives. Ingredients like natural flavor and sodium citrate are often vague in their composition and raise questions about their safety. Moreover, caramel color, pyridoxine hydrochloride, glucuronolactone, and sodium citrate are used, which could pose health risks. Known harmful additives, such as caramel color and sodium benzoate, are particularly troubling due to their association with adverse health outcomes.

Rockstar Silver Ice also includes additives like gum arabic, glycerol ester of rosin, and various vitamins and extracts. While some of these ingredients, such as vitamins B3, B5, B6, and B12, and extracts from milk thistle, Panax ginseng, and guarana, may offer some nutritional benefits, their presence is overshadowed by the negative aspects of the other ingredients.

The product’s low green leaf rating is a clear indicator of its position as a less desirable choice for those seeking cleaner, healthier food options. Its composition, dominated by non-organic, GMO, and additive-laden ingredients, makes it a product to avoid for consumers prioritizing their health and well-being.
