Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Peanut Caramel Bar scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Liquor, Medium Fat Cocoa): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Sugar Alcohols (Sorbitol Syrup): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Milk Protein): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients 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.
