Sunny Delight

Sunny Delight Blue Raspberry earns a rating of 1/5 green leaves, placing it at the lowest tier of our clean food assessment. This product is not organic and contains genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, which leads to an initial deduction in its rating. The presence of citric acid indicates added sugars, while the inclusion of sucralose points to more harmful sugar substitutes being used. The list of ingredients raises concerns due to a variety of potentially harmful additives such as natural and artificial flavors, potassium sorbate, calcium disodium EDTA, and sodium hexametaphosphate.

Further examination reveals the use of canola oil, which we categorize as a harmful oil. The product also contains artificial flavor, which is associated with high fructose corn syrup, a significant negative factor in our scoring system. Additionally, the coloring agent Blue #1 is a known harmful additive, contributing to the product’s low score.

The combination of these ingredients and the lack of organic certification leads to the conclusion that Sunny Delight Blue Raspberry is a product that consumers looking for cleaner food options should avoid. Its formulation includes multiple elements that are not aligned with a diet focused on health and wellness. The heavy presence of artificial additives and sweeteners, alongside GMO ingredients, stands in stark contrast to the cleaner, more natural options that our rating system seeks to endorse.

While the product may appeal to those who are not concerned with ingredient purity, for our audience who prioritizes healthful choices, this beverage does not meet the standards of a clean and wholesome diet. The 1/5 green leaves rating serves as a clear indicator that Sunny Delight Blue Raspberry is far from the ideal choice for consumers seeking beverages that contribute positively to their health.
