Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cherry Lovers 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.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40, Red 40 Lake, Yellow 5, +2 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Powder): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Other Additives (Confectioners Glaze, Carnauba Wax, Beeswax): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
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.
