Ingredient Score:
YumEarth Organics Choco Yums™ Crisped Quinoa earns a 3/5 green leaves rating. This product positions itself as a cleaner alternative in the snack market, aiming to provide a healthier choice for consumers. The chocolate treat, featuring semi-sweet chocolate and crisped quinoa, incorporates organic ingredients alongside non-GMO elements, aligning with some consumer expectations for food purity.
The product does not fully commit to an organic label, resulting in a deduction in its overall health score. The presence of added sugars, specifically sugar and cane sugar, also detracts from its clean food status. These ingredients are often flagged for their potential negative health impacts when consumed in excess. The use of organic cocoa butter and organic crisped quinoa does offer some redemption, as these components are preferred by health-conscious consumers.
Furthermore, the product includes organic powdered sugar and organic turmeric extract, which contribute to its sweetness and color, respectively. The coloring derived from concentrates of carrot, radish, blackcurrant, and sweet potato provides a natural alternative to artificial colorants. The inclusion of organic acacia gum and organic carnauba wax are additional elements that fit within the cleaner food ethos.
Despite its shortcomings related to organic certification and added sugars, YumEarth Organics Choco Yums™ Crisped Quinoa does incorporate several positive aspects such as non-GMO ingredients and natural colorings. The use of organic elements where possible reflects a step towards cleaner eating. This product represents a middle ground option for individuals seeking to balance indulgence with a preference for more natural ingredients.
