Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Black Licorice Wheels scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Potato Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Sugar Alcohols (Licorice Juice (5%)Sorbitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerol): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Other Additives (Medium Chain Triglycerides, Beeswax): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- 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.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
