Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Chocolate Candy scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Artificial Flavors (Natural&Artificial Flavor): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
  • Sugar Alcohols (Maltitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
  • Processed Fruit Products (Chocolate, Cocoa Processed With Alkali+): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
  • Processed Dairy Ingredients (Sodium Caseinate (Milk)): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
  • Emulsifiers (Lecithin (Soy)): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

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.
