Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Modified Starches (Modified Starch [Tapioca]): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
• Other Additives (Confectioner'S Glaze): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
