Masterpieces

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

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

• Processed Fruit Products (Unsweetened Chocolate, Unsweetened Chocolate Processed With Alkali): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Sugar Alcohols (Sorbitol Syrup): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
• Other Additives (Emulsifier (Soy Lecithin)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Chocolate, this product is more processed than about 33% 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.
