Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Starbucks American Menu Double Chocolaty Chip Crème Frappuccino® Blended Beverage ranks poorly on our scale for cleaner food options. This product is not organic and contains genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, both of which detract from its overall score. The presence of added sugars further reduces its standing, as does the inclusion of several potentially harmful additives such as natural flavors, diglycerides, enriched wheat flour, soy lecithin, xanthan gum, and potassium sorbate. Most concerning is the use of carrageenan, a known harmful additive.
Additionally, the product contains harmful oils, including palm kernel oil and palm oil, which are environmentally contentious and linked to health concerns. These ingredients contribute to the low green leaf rating, underscoring the product’s misalignment with the goals of providing cleaner, healthier food options.
The Double Chocolaty Chip Crème Frappuccino® is a blend of ice, milk, and crème Frappuccino syrup, topped with whipped cream and mocha sauce, and mixed with frappuccino chips. The chips themselves contain a mix of confectionery coating, cocoa, cookie crumbs, chocolate mass, and salt, further compounding the product’s sugar content.
This beverage, while popular for its creamy texture and chocolate components, is laden with ingredients that do not meet our standards for health and environmental sustainability. The use of non-organic, GMO ingredients, added sugars, and harmful additives, together with the environmental impact of palm oil production, make it a product our site advises consumers to avoid.
The low green leaf rating reflects the product’s position at the bottom of our recommended options. It serves as a clear indicator that there are better choices available for those seeking cleaner, more health-conscious alternatives in their food and beverages.
