Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Sour Bites 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.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Sugar Alcohols (Sorbitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin, Glycerine, Soy Mono- & Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
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.
