Ingredient Score:

The Twizzlers Watermelon Flavored Candy earns a green leaf rating of 1/5, indicating it falls short of our cleaner food criteria. This product is not organic and contains genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, resulting in a significant deduction from its overall score. The presence of added sugars, such as sugar and citric acid, further detracts from its rating. The use of corn syrup, a more harmful type of added sugar, is particularly concerning.

Moreover, the candy includes potentially harmful additives like artificial flavors and enriched wheat flour, alongside a trio of artificial colors: Red 40, Yellow 5, and Blue 1. These ingredients are known for their negative implications on health and contribute to the low score of the product. Palm oil, an ingredient with environmental and health concerns, is also present and affects the product’s rating adversely.

The inclusion of high fructose corn syrup, listed under artificial flavors, is another critical factor leading to the product’s low score. This ingredient is associated with various health risks and is heavily penalized in our scoring system.

The Twizzlers Watermelon Flavored Candy is not recommended for those seeking cleaner food options. The product contains multiple ingredients that raise concerns for health, such as GMOs, added sugars, harmful additives, and palm oil. The artificial colors and flavors used in this candy also contribute to its minimal green leaf rating. Consumers looking for healthier alternatives would be well-advised to consider other options that align better with the criteria for clean eating.
