Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Now Mints scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Sweeteners (Aspartame, Acesulfame K): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
- Sugar Alcohols (Xylitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose, Gum Arabic): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Gum & Mints, this product is more processed than about 23% of the 1,470 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
