Butter Flavored Syrup

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Butter Flavored Syrup scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor And Artificial Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Other Additives (Sodium Hexametaphosphate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Honey & Syrups, this product is more processed than about 83% of the 3,559 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
