Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Miniature Candy Assortment scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Flavors (Vanillin (Artificial Flavor)): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup Solids, +1 more): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Palm Kernel Oil, Soybean Oil), Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Tbhq): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Processed Fruit Products (Chocolate, Cocoa): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
Within Candy, this product is more processed than about 32% of the 21,778 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
