Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Candy scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Flavors (Artificial Vanilla Flavor): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Modified Starches (Modified Potato Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, +1 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Pectin): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
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.
