Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Frankenstein Finger Marshmallows scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Flavors (Vanillin (Artificial Flavor)): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5 Lake, Blue 1 Lake, Red 40, +3 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
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.
