Van Leeuwen

The Van Leeuwen Brown Sugar Cookie Dough Chunk ice cream earns a rating of 1/5 green leaves on our scale, signaling a product that is not aligned with our standards for cleaner eating. This ice cream is not organic and includes genetically modified ingredients, which together result in deductions from its overall score. Moreover, it contains multiple types of added sugars, such as dark brown sugar and cane sugar, in addition to brown rice syrup. These sweeteners contribute to a further reduction in its rating.

Additionally, the ice cream includes canola oil, an ingredient we classify as harmful due to its typical processing methods and potential health implications. The presence of canola oil in the product is a significant factor in its low score. Other ingredients listed, such as milk, cream, eggs, walnuts, wheat flour, malted barley flour, filtered water, coconut oil, sunflower oil, fair trade cocoa powder, salt, vanilla extract, and baking powder, contribute to the product’s composition but do not mitigate the negative impact of the non-organic, GMO, and harmful sweetener and oil contents.

Our evaluation criteria are rigorous, and we deduct points for each occurrence of ingredients that do not meet our standards for a cleaner diet. This product’s score reflects the accumulation of these deductions. The presence of non-organic ingredients, GMOs, added sugars, and harmful oils are key factors that have led to a low rating on our scale.

The aim of our website is to guide consumers toward healthier food options in a market saturated with products that may not support a wholesome diet. The Van Leeuwen Brown Sugar Cookie Dough Chunk ice cream does not meet the criteria we believe are essential for a cleaner and healthier lifestyle. Therefore, we advise consumers to consider other options that better align with these values.
