Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Premium Hot Cocoa Mix scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
Processed Fruit Products (High Fat Cocoa (Processed With Alkali), High Fat Cocoa, Cocoa (Processed With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Processed Dairy Ingredients (Sodium Caseinate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
Emulsifiers (Mono-And Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin, Polysorbate 60): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Drink Mixes, this product is more processed than about 51% of the 4,985 products we've analyzed.

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