- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the ‘Swedish Fish Tails 2 Flavors In 1 Soft & Chewy Candy’ falls at the lowest end of our health-conscious evaluation scale. This product is not organic and contains genetically modified ingredients, factors that significantly impact its rating. The inclusion of multiple types of added sugars, such as sugar and inverted sugar, further detracts from its score. Corn syrup, a more harmful sugar, is also present, contributing to the negative assessment.
The candy’s ingredient list features several potentially harmful additives. These include natural and artificial flavors and modified corn starch, which are considered less desirable from a clean eating standpoint. The presence of known harmful additives such as artificial flavors, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1, and Red 40 compounds the product’s issues, as these are linked to various health concerns and are generally recommended to be avoided in a clean diet.
Moreover, the product contains high fructose corn syrup, an ingredient notorious for its negative health implications, particularly when consumed in large quantities. This, in combination with the other ingredients, places the ‘Swedish Fish Tails’ candy at a considerable disadvantage within the scope of cleaner food options.
The product also includes white mineral oil and carnauba wax, which, while not as severely penalized in our scoring system, are not aligned with the principles of clean eating. These ingredients are typically used to enhance texture and appearance but are not ideal from a health perspective.
The ‘Swedish Fish Tails 2 Flavors In 1 Soft & Chewy Candy’ is a product that our scoring system identifies as one to avoid for those seeking cleaner, healthier food choices. The numerous non-organic, GMO, and artificial ingredients, along with the various types of added sugars, make it clear that this product does not align with the values of a health-conscious diet. As such, it earns the minimum rating on our scale, reflecting its position as a less favorable option in the market of clean food products.
