Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Instant Hot Cocoa Mix with Marshmallows scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa (Processed With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate, Sodium Caseinate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Other Additives (Emulsifier (Mono- And Diglycerides)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Drink Mixes, this product is more processed than about 51% of the 4,985 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
