Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Sweet Tarts Cherry Punch Soft & Chewy Ropes fall at the bottom of our scale for cleaner food options. This product is not organic and contains GMO ingredients, which detracts significantly from its score on our website. The presence of added sugars, including sugar and citric acid, further reduces its rating, as we prioritize products without such additives.
The Sweet Tarts Cherry Punch Soft & Chewy Ropes also contain additional sweeteners like sorbitol and corn syrup, which are considered more harmful types of added sugar. These ingredients have a more pronounced negative impact on the product’s score. Moreover, the inclusion of potentially harmful additives, such as natural flavors, sodium citrate, glycerin, DL-malic acid, and confectioner’s glaze, contribute to the low rating. Maltodextrin, identified as a known harmful additive, is also present and contributes to the product’s minimal score.
The ingredient list showcases a reliance on additives and artificial components that our website deems unfavorable for a cleaner diet. The product’s formulation includes ingredients like wheat flour, water, and vegetable juice color, which are less concerning but do not compensate for the other negative factors. The use of beta-carotene for color is one of the few elements that does not contribute to a score reduction.
Given the product’s composition and our scoring criteria, it is clear that the Sweet Tarts Cherry Punch Soft & Chewy Ropes are not aligned with the cleaner food options we advocate. The product’s low green leaf rating reflects its position as a food choice best avoided by those seeking healthier, more natural alternatives in their diet. The combination of non-organic ingredients, GMOs, added sugars, and harmful additives results in a product that does not meet the standards for a clean and healthy food option.
