Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Candy Puffs scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Flavors (Natural Or Artificial Flavor): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40, Red 40 Lake, Yellow 5, +1 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
Within Candy, this product is more processed than about 32% 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.
