Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Gushers Tropical Flavors Fruit Flavored Snacks 6 Count scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, Dried Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40, Blue 1, Yellow 5 & 6): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Carrageenan, Agar-Agar, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Other Snacks, this product is more processed than about 65% of the 7,439 products we've analyzed.
