Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

  • Artificial Colors (Artificial Flavors And Artificial Colors (Fd&C Red 40 Aluminium Lake)): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
  • Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
  • Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin, Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

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.
