Green Leaf Rating: 1/5
The Snickers Peanut Butter bar is a food product that our evaluation has identified as one of the least recommended options for those seeking cleaner food alternatives. This particular snack is not organic and utilizes GMO ingredients, which immediately impacts its standing on our scale. The presence of added sugars, including sugar, dextrose, and corn syrup, further diminishes its score, as these are ingredients we advocate consuming in moderation due to their association with various health concerns.
Beyond the sugars, the Snickers Peanut Butter bar contains several additives that raise red flags. Artificial flavors and TBHQ, a preservative, are among the known harmful additives included in the recipe. These ingredients are often scrutinized for their potential health effects. Additionally, the product contains soy lecithin and glycerine, which we categorize as potentially harmful additives due to their widespread use in processed foods and the ongoing debate about their long-term health impacts.
Palm oil is another contentious ingredient found within this snack. The use of palm oil is a significant concern due to its environmental impact and the health implications of consuming highly processed oils. Furthermore, the product’s ingredient list suggests an overlap with high fructose corn syrup, although it is not explicitly stated. This is a concern due to the negative health effects associated with high fructose corn syrup consumption.
With these considerations, the Snickers Peanut Butter bar receives the lowest possible recommendation from our website. This score reflects our commitment to guiding consumers toward cleaner, healthier food choices. The extensive use of non-organic, GMO, and potentially harmful ingredients makes this product one that we advise customers to avoid when searching for healthier snack alternatives.
