Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Chocolate Twists scores Highly 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.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Powder, Natural Chocolate Flavor): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerine, Mono- And Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Vanillin): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Candy, this is among the less processed 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.
