Malted Milk Eggs Candy

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Malted Milk Eggs Candy scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Artificial Colors (Artificial Coloring (Includes Titanium Dioxide, Blue 1 Lake, Yellow 5 Lake, Blue 2 Lake, Red 40 Lake, Red 3)): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
• Other Additives (Confectioner'S Glaze (Shellac), Carnauba Wax): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Rainbow Glitter [Acacia (Gum Arabic), Yellow 5, Blue 1, Red 40, Yellow 6, Red 3]): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• 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.
