Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Dark Chocolate scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Plant Proteins (Pea Protein Crisps (Pea Protein, Pea Starch, Rice Flour, Calcium Carbonate)): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Emulsifiers (Vegetable Glycerine): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Vanilla Extract, Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Chocolate, this product is more processed than about 33% of the 9,618 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
