Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Chocolate Syrup scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40, Blue 1, Yellow 6): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Processed With Alkali): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Honey & Syrups, this product is more processed than about 83% of the 3,559 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
