Chocolate Fruit Medley

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Chocolate Fruit Medley scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Artificial Colors (Red 40 Lake, Blue 2 Lake, Yellow 2 Lake): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
• Other Additives (Confectioner'S Glaze): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Nuts & Seeds, this product is more processed than about 84% of the 20,883 products we've analyzed.
