Mixed Fruit Jelly

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Mixed Fruit Jelly scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Carrageenan, Carob Bean Gum, Xanthan Gum, +1 more): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Other Additives (Sodium D-Isoascorbate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
