Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Message Truffles scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Processed Fruit Products (Unsweetened Chocolate Processed With Alkali, Unsweetened Chocolate): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Sugar Alcohols (Sorbitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
- Other Additives (Emulsifier (Soy Lecithin)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor, Vanilla Powder, Natural Flavor (Soy)): 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.
