Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Bassetts Classics Candy Mint scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Meats (Gelatine): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
- Emulsifiers (Emulsifiers (Sunflower Lecithin, E471)): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Candy, this is among the less processed of the 21,778 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
