Creamy Chocolate Coffee Creamer

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Coconut And/Or Palm Kernel And/Or Soybean)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
• Processed Dairy Ingredients (Less Than 2% Of Sodium Caseinate (A Milk Derivative)**): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
• Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Processed With Alkali): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.

Within Coffee Creamer, this product is more processed than about 72% of the 1,351 products we've analyzed.

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