Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Real Fruit Candy, Real Fruit scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate To Preserve Freshness): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Within Candy, this is among the less processed of the 21,778 products we've analyzed.
