Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Sour Pop 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.
  • Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
  • Artificial Flavors (Contains Less Than 0.5% Of The Following: Natural And Artificial Flavor): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
  • Artificial Colors (Yellow 5 Lake, Red 40, Yellow 5 (Tartrazine), +2 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
  • Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.

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.
