Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Powder): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Natural Flavors (Vanilla): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

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.
