Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Hazelnut Spread Chocolate Candies scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
  • Corn-Based Sweeteners (Less Than 1%-Corn Syrup, Dextrin): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
  • Artificial Colors (Blue 1 Lake): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
  • Other Additives (Carnauba Wax): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
  • Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

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.
