Belgian Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Belgian Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream 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.
• Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Processed With Alkali, Cocoa): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Emulsifiers (Mono & Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gum, Guar Gum, Carrageenan): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Ice Cream & Frozen Desserts, this product is more processed than about 38% of the 14,928 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
