Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Black Australian Licorice scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Salt Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Emulsifiers (Mono-And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Candy, this product is more processed than about 32% of the 21,778 products we've analyzed.
