Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Handmade Chocolates 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 40 Lake, Yellow 5 Lake): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
Processed Fruit Products (Chocolate Mass): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor, Vanilla Extract, Creme Brulee Flavor (Propylene Glycol, Natural Flavor)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Chocolate, this product is more processed than about 67% 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.
