Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Peppermint Candy Canes scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Cottonseed And/Or Soybean)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
Artificial Colors (Red 40 Lake): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gum, Carrageenan, Gum Tragacanth): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Emulsifiers (Mono And Diglycerin, Polysorbate 60): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Baking Supplies, this product is more processed than about 55% of the 5,060 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
