Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Mini Buckeyes scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Palm Oil, Hydrogenated Vegetable Fat (Palm)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Natural Vanilla Extract Tbhq): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Processed Fruit Products (Unsweetened Chocolate): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Candy, this is among the less processed 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.
