- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
- Artificial Flavors (Contains Less Than 0.5% Of The Following Ingredients: Natural And Artificial Flavors): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Within Candy, this product is more processed than about 32% of the 21,778 products we've analyzed.
