Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Peanut Butter Cups Candy scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Palm Kernel And/Or Palm)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Artificial Flavors (Vanillin (An Artificial Flavor)): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Other Additives (Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin, Sorbitol)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
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.
