Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Gummi Bears scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1, Red 4): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Other Additives (Carnauba Wax): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate 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.
