- Processed Fruit Products (Chocolate Liquor, Tangerine Juice Concentrate, Watermelon Juice Concentrate, +2 more): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Candy, this product is more processed than about 32% of the 21,778 products we've analyzed.
