Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Soft & Chewy Candy Bites 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 Fats (Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
Artificial Colors (Blue 1, Red 40, Yellow 6, +1 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Arabic): 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.
