Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Candy Corn, Candy 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.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 6, Yellow 5, Red 40, +1 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Other Additives (Confectioner'S Glaze, Carnauba Wax): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Candy, this product is more processed than about 32% 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.
