Chocolatey Candies

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

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

• Processed Fruit Products (Chocolate): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Emulsifiers (Less Than 2% - Soy Lecithin, Sorbitan Tristearate): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Pectin): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Candy, this is among the less processed of the 21,778 products we've analyzed.
