Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Original Dark Chocolate scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Colors (Blue 1 Lake, Yellow 5 Lake): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Processed Fruit Products (Chocolate Liquor): 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 Chocolate, this product is more processed than about 67% 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.
