Rating: Not Clean
- 2 out of 5
Ingredient Score:

Rated at 2 out of 5 green leaves, the Van Leeuwen Vegan Chocolate Cookie Dough Honeycomb ice cream falls short of the cleaner food options many health-conscious consumers seek. This product isn’t organic, a factor contributing to its lower score as it increases the potential for exposure to pesticides and GMOs. Although it uses non-GMO ingredients, which is a positive aspect, the presence of multiple added sugars significantly diminishes its standing.
The ingredient list reveals the use of cane sugar, brown sugar, organic brown rice syrup or tapioca syrup, all of which are considered harmful added sugars according to our criteria. These ingredients contribute to the overall sugar content and detract from the healthfulness of the product. Additionally, the inclusion of wheat flour and coconut oil in the cookie dough, as well as cocoa butter and organic virgin coconut oil in the base, suggest a higher fat content, which may be a concern for those monitoring their fat intake.
The use of oat milk as the base for the vegan ice cream aligns with cleaner eating trends and provides an alternative for those avoiding dairy. However, it’s important to note that the oats used are gluten-free, a consideration for those with gluten sensitivities. The product also contains coconut cream and cocoa powder, which are common in vegan desserts, but their health impact depends on the portion size and overall diet of an individual.
This product has room for improvement, particularly in the realm of sugar content and organic certification. Reducing the number of added sugars and shifting towards organic ingredients would enhance its standing on our scale. For consumers prioritizing a cleaner diet, this product does not fully meet the criteria for a healthier alternative in the saturated market of frozen desserts. The 2 out of 5 green leaves rating reflects its position as a product that requires modifications to be considered a healthier choice.
