Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, Skittles Wild Berry Gummies fall at the low end of our scale for cleaner food options. This rating reflects the product’s composition, which includes several ingredients that raise health concerns according to our criteria.

The gummies are not organic and contain genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, which already puts them at a disadvantage in our evaluation. Added sugars, such as sugar and citric acid, contribute to the product’s low score. Corn syrup, a more harmful type of added sugar, is also present, exacerbating the issue.

Furthermore, the gummies contain a range of additives. These include natural and artificial flavors and colors like Red 40, Yellow 5, and Blue 1, which are considered potentially harmful. The presence of artificial flavors is particularly concerning due to their association with health risks.

The product’s use of modified corn starch and malic acid is also worth noting. While these ingredients are common in processed foods, they contribute to the overall negative assessment of the gummies. The inclusion of sunflower oil and carnauba wax, although less concerning, does not mitigate the overall health implications of the other ingredients.

Skittles Wild Berry Gummies exemplify the type of food product our website advises consumers to avoid. The combination of non-organic, GMO ingredients, multiple forms of added sugars, and a variety of artificial additives leads to a product that falls short of our standards for cleaner food options. Consumers looking for healthier alternatives would be well-advised to consider other products that better align with the goal of a cleaner, more wholesome diet.
