Ingredient Score:

Green Leaf Rating: 1/5
The Swedish Fish Mini With Assorted Eggs Soft & Chewy Easter Candy earns the lowest green leaf rating on our scale due to its composition. This product is not organic, uses genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, and includes multiple added sugars and potentially harmful additives, which significantly lowers its score.
The candy contains sugar, invert sugar, and corn syrup. These ingredients contribute to the high added sugar content. Modified corn starch and less than 2% of citric acid, white mineral oil, carnauba wax, and a range of color additives—Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1—are also present. The inclusion of natural and artificial flavors further impacts the product’s overall rating.
The color additives and artificial flavors are particularly concerning as they are linked to adverse health effects. Research has associated artificial colorants with behavioral issues in children and potential carcinogenicity. These factors are critical in the evaluation process, resulting in significant deductions from the product’s total score.
The presence of high fructose corn syrup, listed under artificial flavors, is another major factor leading to the low rating. High fructose corn syrup is often criticized for its potential role in contributing to obesity, diabetes, and other health problems when consumed in excess.
Customers seeking cleaner food options are advised to avoid this product based on its ingredient profile. The Swedish Fish Mini With Assorted Eggs Soft & Chewy Easter Candy does not align with the healthier, more natural alternatives that our website promotes. Consumers are encouraged to choose options with higher green leaf ratings, which reflect products with better ingredient quality and fewer potential health risks.
