Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Light Syrup, Light scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Other Additives (Sodium Hexametaphosphate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Honey & Syrups, this product is more processed than about 83% of the 3,559 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
