Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Confections scores Ultra-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.
  • Processed Meats (K-Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
  • Artificial Colors (Red 40, Red 40 Lake, Yellow 6, Blue 1, Yellow 5, Blue 2 Lake, Yellow 6 Lake): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
  • Stabilizers & Gums (Pectin): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

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.
