Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Carmarsh Dark Chocolate 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.
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Cottonseed, Soybean)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
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.
