Caramel Nut Brownie Dessert Truffles

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Caramel Nut Brownie Dessert Truffles scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Processed Fruit Products (Unsweetened Chocolate Processed With Alkali): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Sugar Alcohols (Sorbitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
• Emulsifiers (Glycerin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor, Natural Flavor (Soy)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Chocolate, this product is more processed than about 67% of the 9,618 products we've analyzed.

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