Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cherry Slices, Cherry scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Sugar Alcohols (Sorbitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
Within Candy, this product is more processed than about 32% of the 21,778 products we've analyzed.
