Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Breath Mints scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Sweeteners (Acesulfame K): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 6, Red 40, Yellow 5, +2 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
Within Gum & Mints, this product is more processed than about 23% of the 1,470 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
