Caramel Latte Popcorn

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Caramel Latte Popcorn scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Caramel Corn (Sugar, Popcorn, Corn Syrup, Corn Oil, Water, Butter (Cream, Salt), Brown Sugar, Soy Lecithin, Salt, Natural Flavoring), Caramel (Corn Syrup, Sweetened Condensed Milk (Pasteurized Milk, Sugar), Sugar, Palm Oil, Water, Butter (Cream, Salt), Salt, Vanilla Extract, Soy Lecithin)): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor, Coffee Flavor (Organic Sunflower Oil And Natural Flavor)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Chocolate Espresso Beans (Dark Chocolate (Sugar, Cocoa, Cocoa Butter, Soy Lecithin, Vanilla), Roasted Arabica Coffee Beans, Cocoa Powder, Confectioner'S Glaze, Gum Arabic)): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Popcorn & Pretzels, this product is more processed than about 79% of the 4,573 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
