Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Swedish Fish Soft & Chewy Assorted Easter Eggs Easter Candy ranks poorly on our scale of cleaner food options. This product is not organic and contains genetically modified ingredients, which leads to an immediate deduction in our scoring system. The presence of added sugars, such as sugar and citric acid, further reduces its standing. More concerning is the inclusion of corn syrup, a more harmful type of added sugar.
The candy also has a range of potentially harmful additives. These include natural and artificial flavors, which are often ambiguous in their composition, and corn starch. The product goes further into negative territory with known harmful additives like artificial flavors and synthetic dyes—Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1, and Red 40. These additives have been associated with health risks and are unwelcome in cleaner food options.
High fructose corn syrup, listed under artificial flavor, is another serious offender. This ingredient is notorious for its negative health implications, particularly in contributing to obesity and diabetes. The presence of high fructose corn syrup has a significant impact on the product’s score due to its potential health hazards.
The Swedish Fish candy, with its assortment of non-organic, GMO, and chemically-laden ingredients, clearly does not align with the goals of consumers seeking healthier, cleaner food choices. The product’s composition, dominated by artificial additives and harmful sugars, positions it at the lowest end of our rating scale.
Consumers are advised to steer clear of this candy due to its poor standing. Our rigorous evaluation criteria aim to filter out products like these that do not meet the standards for a cleaner and healthier diet. The 1/5 green leaf rating reflects a strong recommendation to avoid this product in the pursuit of better food alternatives.
