Energizing Jelly Beans

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Energizing Jelly Beans scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Stabilizers & Gums (Citrus Pectin): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Other Additives (Beeswax, Carnauba Wax, Confectioner'S Glaze, +1 more): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Candy, this is among the less processed of the 21,778 products we've analyzed.
