Bit-O-Honey

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Bit-O-Honey scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Plant Proteins (Modified Soy Protein. Natural Flavor): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.

Within Candy, this product is more processed than about 32% of the 21,778 products we've analyzed.
