Chocolate Lovers Lollipop

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Chocolate Lovers Lollipop 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 Flavors (Natural & Artificial Flavoring): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
• Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Palm Kernel & Cottonseed Oils): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

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.
