Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Twizzlers Twists Mystery Flavor Candy is among the lowest-ranked products on our site due to its composition of ingredients that fail to meet our clean eating standards. This product is not organic and contains genetically modified ingredients. The presence of added sugars, including sugar and citric acid, detracts from its healthfulness, while the inclusion of corn syrup—a more harmful type of added sugar—further diminishes its nutritional value.
The Twizzlers Twists Mystery Flavor Candy also contains an array of potentially harmful additives. Ingredients such as natural and artificial flavor, enriched wheat flour, soy lecithin, and artificial colors like Red 40 and Blue 1 are flagged for their negative health implications. Specifically, the artificial flavor and colors are identified as known harmful additives, which justifies a more severe deduction in the product’s overall score.
Additionally, the product includes palm oil, an ingredient scrutinized for its environmental impact and potential health concerns. The label “high fructose corn syrup” listed in the breakdown is likely a mislabeling as it is not explicitly stated in the ingredients provided by the product. However, the presence of ingredients like artificial flavor could be associated with similar negative health effects.
The Twizzlers Twists Mystery Flavor Candy’s low green leaf rating reflects our commitment to guiding consumers towards cleaner food choices. This product contains a variety of ingredients that are either environmentally unsustainable or potentially harmful to health. As a result, the product earns the lowest possible score on our scale, and we advise consumers to seek healthier, more transparent alternatives when choosing food products. Our evaluation aligns with our mission to highlight products that support a cleaner diet amidst a market saturated with unhealthy options.
