Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

  • Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
  • Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
  • Artificial Flavors (Natural & Artificial Flavor): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
  • Processed Fruit Products (Chocolate Liquor, Cocoa Powder): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
  • Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin And Pgpr): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Candy, this product is more processed than about 32% 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.
