Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Ghosts Nuggets 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.
- Artificial Colors (Red 3, Blue 1): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Processed Fruit Products (Natural Red Color (Vegetable Juice Concentrate)Or Fd & C Red 40): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Vanilla Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
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.
