Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

  • Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, Less Than 1% Of - Corn Syrup, Dextrin): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
  • Artificial Colors (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, 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): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
  • Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
  • Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Powder Processed With Alkali, Chocolate, Cocoa Powder): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
  • Other Additives (Carnauba Wax): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

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.
