- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
- Artificial Colors (Contains Less Than 0.5% Of The Following: Yellow 5 (Tartrazine), Red 3, Red 40, +1 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
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.
