Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Lollipop Kit Candy Melts scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5 Lake, Red 40 Lake): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Powder Processed With Alkali, Cocoa Powder): 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.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
