Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Fruit Roll-Ups Tropical Tie-Dye 10 Count scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, Dried Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Artificial Colors (Red 40, Yellows 5 & 6, Blue 1): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Fruit Pectin): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Other Additives (Monoglycerides, Acetylated Monoglycerides): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
