Dark Rainbow

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Cottonseed And/Or Soybean)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Dextrin): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Artificial Flavors (Natural & Artificial Flavor): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
• Artificial Colors (Red 40 Lake, Yellow 6 Lake, Yellow 5 Lake, +3 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
• Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa (Cocoa Processed With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.

Within Baking Supplies, this product is more processed than about 55% of the 5,060 products we've analyzed.

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