Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Gourmet Cocoa scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Powder): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Carrageenan, Cellulose Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Drink Mixes, this product is more processed than about 30% of the 4,985 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
