Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Classics Cocoa Mix scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Processed Fruit Products (Dutch-Processed Cocoa): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Mono & Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Drink Mixes, this product is more processed than about 51% of the 4,985 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
