Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Rainbow Coated Chocolate Chips scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Artificial Colors (Yellow 5 Lake, Red 40 Lake, Blue 1 Lake, +2 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Arabic): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Other Additives (Confectioner'S Glaze, Carnauba Wax): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
