Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Sweet Tarts Sour Apple Ropes falls short in providing a clean eating option for consumers. This product is not organic, and it contains genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which has significantly impacted its rating on our scale. The presence of added sugars, such as sugar and citric acid, contributes to its low score. Furthermore, the inclusion of additional sweeteners like sorbitol and corn syrup, which we classify as more harmful types of added sugars, further diminishes its standing.
The ingredient list also reveals several potentially harmful additives. These include natural flavors and sodium citrate, as well as glycerin, malic acid, and corn starch, all of which detract from the product’s overall healthfulness. Maltodextrin, identified as a known harmful additive, is particularly concerning and has resulted in a substantial deduction from its score. Additionally, the use of oils such as canola and unspecified vegetable oils, which we consider harmful, also negatively affects the product’s rating.
The Sweet Tarts Sour Apple Ropes contain wheat, signaling a need for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease to steer clear. The product’s composition with non-organic, GMO ingredients, coupled with a variety of added sugars and harmful additives, positions it as a choice to avoid for those seeking cleaner food alternatives. The low green leaf rating reflects the product’s alignment with unhealthy options in a market that is increasingly demanding transparency and health-conscious selections.
Therefore, the Sweet Tarts Sour Apple Ropes earn the lowest possible score on our scale, indicating a product that is far removed from the clean food criteria we advocate. Consumers are encouraged to opt for products with higher green leaf ratings that prioritize organic ingredients, avoid GMOs, and exclude harmful additives and sugars.
