Chewy Chocolatey Bites

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Chewy Chocolatey Bites scores Highly 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 Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Processed With Alkali, Cocoa Powder): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Emulsifiers (Glycerine, Sorbitan Tristearate, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Candy, this is among the less processed 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.
