Heavenly Crisp Candy Bar

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Heavenly Crisp Candy Bar scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil, Hydrogenated Palm Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Processed With Alkali): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Emulsifiers (Sorbitan Tristearate, Soy Lecithin, Mono-And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Natural Flavors (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.
