Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Assortment Dark Chocolate scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Flavors (Vanillin (Artificial Flavor)}): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate And Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Processed Fruit Products (Chocolate Processed With Alkali, Chocolate): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
Within Chocolate, this product is more processed than about 67% of the 9,618 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
