Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Organic Candy scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Stabilizers & Gums (Citrus Pectin Citric Acid): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Candy, this is among the less processed of the 21,778 products we've analyzed.
