Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Milk, Chocolate scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa (Processed With Alkali), Cocoa): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Carrageenan, Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor, Vanillin): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Milk, this product is more processed than about 77% of the 4,301 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
