Dried Chili Mango

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Artificial Colors (Red Fd&C #40, Yellow Fd&C #5): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
• Chemical Preservatives (Sulphur Oxide To Preserve Color And Potassium Sorbate At 0.1% As A Preservative): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.

Within Dried Fruit & Fruit Snacks, this product is more processed than about 98% of the 7,520 products we've analyzed.

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