Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Midnight Chocolate scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa (Processed With Alkali), Unsweetened Chocolate): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Natural Flavors (Vanilla (Water, Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, Vanilla Bean [Indonesian]And Other Botanical Extractives, Natural Flavors)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
