Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, It's Delish, Black Licorice scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
  • Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Coconut Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
  • Sugar Alcohols (Sorbitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
  • Emulsifiers (Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Candy, this is among the less processed 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.
