Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Fruity Chewy Candy scores Highly 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 (Less Than 2% Of Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
- Emulsifiers (Sorbitan Tristearate): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Processed Fruit Products (Vegetable Juice Concentrate): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
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.
