Chocolate Trail Blazer

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Modified Starches (Modified Tapioca Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Artificial Colors (Blue 1 Lake, Yellow 6, Red 40, +5 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Arabic): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• 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.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
