Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Gummy Bears scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
  • Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): 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.
