Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Mint Penguins scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Chocolate, this product is more processed than about 67% 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.
