Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Chocolate Bites scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Soybean And/Or Cottonseed Oil)And Palm Kernal Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Powder): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin, Mono & Diglycerides, Sorbitan Monostearate): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Agar, Cellulose Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
