Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Candy Kabobs 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.
- Processed Meats (Gelatin (Beef, Pork)): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
- Modified Starches (Modified Potato Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40, Red 3, Yellow 6, Yellow 5, Blue 1, Blue 2): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
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.
