Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Candy Bars scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides. Salt. Soy Lecithin. Natural Flavor): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Chocolate, this product is more processed than about 33% 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.
