Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Toffee Ice Cream Bars scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides, Polysorbate 80 Artificial Flavor, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum, Locust Bean Gum, +1 more): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa And Cocoa Processed With Alkali, Chocolate Liquor): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
