Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Miniatures Candy Assortment scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Red 40, Blue 1, +1 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, Twizzlers Twists Strawberry Candy - Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Flavors (Of: Natural And Artificial Flavor, Vanillin (Artificial Flavors)): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Chemical Preservatives (Tbhq): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Within Candy, this product is more processed than about 32% of the 21,778 products we've analyzed.
