Chocolate Drink

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Processed With Alkali, Cocoa): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Carrageenan): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Other Additives (Monoglycerides, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Other Beverages, this product is more processed than about 77% of the 3,934 products we've analyzed.

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