Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Candy Twists scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Water Modified Food Starch (Corn)): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Flavors (Natural & Artificial Flavor): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerine, Soy Mono- & Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
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.
