Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Green Leaf Rating: 1/5
The Tillamook Peanut Butter Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwich receives our lowest green leaf rating due to its extensive use of non-organic ingredients, the presence of GMOs, and multiple additives that may pose health risks. This ice cream sandwich is not made from organic milk or cream, and the peanuts, vegetable oils, and flour used are also non-organic. The absence of non-GMO certification further impacts its rating negatively.
This product contains a variety of added sugars, including brown sugar, regular sugar, and the more concerning corn syrup, which is often associated with health issues when consumed in excess. The presence of these sweeteners contributes to its low score. Additionally, the list of ingredients features several items that are flagged for potential health concerns, such as natural flavors and soy lecithin, which are often used as additives in processed foods.
Moreover, the inclusion of enriched flour, which has been stripped of essential nutrients during processing and then artificially fortified, is another reason for the deduction of points. The product also contains xanthan gum, a thickening agent, and locust bean gum, which are common in processed foods but may not align with a clean eating philosophy.
The use of oils, specifically peanut oil and unspecified vegetable oils—which may include palm oil—is another critical factor. These oils are often highly processed and may have environmental and health implications.
The Tillamook Peanut Butter Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwich, therefore, falls short of our standards for cleaner food options. Its composition reflects a reliance on non-organic, genetically modified, and potentially harmful ingredients. Consumers seeking healthier, more natural alternatives are advised to consider other products that better align with the principles of clean eating. This product’s low green leaf rating reflects its standing as a less desirable choice for those aiming to avoid processed and artificial components in their diet.
