Fruity Bunch Flavor Chewy Candy Strips

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Fruity Bunch Flavor Chewy Candy Strips scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Processed Meats (Gelatine): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Candy, this is among the less processed 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.
