Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Mini Marshmallow Hot Cocoa Mix scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Processed With Alkali): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gum, Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Sodium Caseinate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
Within Baking Supplies, this product is more processed than about 55% of the 5,060 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
