Rating:     We Avoid

Ingredient Score:

Awarded a 1/5 green leaf rating, the Starbucks American Menu Cinnamon Caramel Cream Cold Brew is a beverage that our analysis deems as one of the least healthy options for consumers seeking cleaner food products. This cold brew is non-organic, uses GMO ingredients, and contains multiple types of added sugars, including brown sugar and invert sugar, which contribute to its low score.

The presence of potentially harmful additives such as natural flavors, mono and diglycerides, and xanthan gum, alongside the preservative potassium sorbate, further diminishes the product’s standing in terms of healthfulness. Moreover, the inclusion of carrageenan, a known harmful additive, significantly impacts the overall score of the drink.

Our assessment is rigorous and aims to identify products that align with a healthier lifestyle. The Starbucks American Menu Cinnamon Caramel Cream Cold Brew fails to meet the criteria for a clean and healthy option due to its composition. It lacks organic certification, incorporates genetically modified ingredients, and features a list of additives that raise concerns.

The drink’s ingredients list reveals a concoction that relies heavily on sweeteners and substances that are not in line with a clean eating philosophy. While it may appeal to those not concerned with ingredient purity or health implications, for our audience who prioritizes cleaner food options, this product does not align with those values.

Consumers are increasingly aware of the impact of their food choices on their health. Products like the Starbucks Cinnamon Caramel Cream Cold Brew, which feature numerous additives and non-organic ingredients, do not support this health-conscious approach. Therefore, our advice is to seek alternative options that offer transparency, minimal processing, and a commitment to natural, organic ingredients. The 1/5 green leaf rating reflects our stance that there are better choices available for those striving to consume cleaner, more wholesome beverages.
