Coconut Patties

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Coconut Patties 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.
• Artificial Flavors (Natural & Artificial Flavors): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
• Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Powder (Processed With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Vanilla): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Candy, this is among the less processed of the 21,778 products we've analyzed.
