Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Original Chocolate Flavored Syrup scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Powder): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Polysorbate 60): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Honey & Syrups, this product is more processed than about 83% of the 3,559 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
