Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Chocolate Candy scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Less Than 1.5% - Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Processed Fruit Products (Chocolate, Cocoa Powder Processed With Alkali, Chocolate Processed With Alkali): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin, Glycerol Monostearate, Glycerol): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Artificial And Natural Flavors): 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.
