Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Original Peanut Brittle scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Light Corn Syrup (Light Corn Syrup, Salt, Vanilla)): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Natural Flavors (Pure Vanilla Extract): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Candy, this is among the less processed 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.
