Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Caramels Collection 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.
- Other Additives (Stabilizer (Palm Oil, Granular Soya Lecithin)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Nibs (Roasted), Cocoa Powder (Processed With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin (Soy)): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Vanilla Extract): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
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.
