Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Deluxe Easter Mix scores Ultra-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.
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Flavors (Natural & Artificial Flavors): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5 & 6, Red 3, Yellow 5 & 6 Lake, +5 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Processed Fruit Products (Chocolate Liquor, Tangerine Juice Concentrate): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
Within Candy, this product is more processed than about 32% of the 21,778 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
