Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, Dextrin, Less Than 1% - Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
Artificial Colors (Blue 1 Lake, Red 40, Yellow 6, Yellow 5, Blue 1, Red 40 Lake, Yellow 6 Lake, Yellow 5 Lake, Blue 2 Lake, Blue 2, Blue 1 Lake, Yellow 6, Red 40, Yellow 5, Blue 1, Yellow 6 Lake, Red 40 Lake, Yellow 5 Lake, Blue 2 Lake, Blue 2): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
Other Additives (Carnauba Wax): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Acacia): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Chocolate, this product is more processed than about 67% of the 9,618 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
