Speckled Robin Eggs

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Speckled Robin Eggs scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Artificial Colors (Red 40 Lake, Blue 1 Lake, Yellow 5 Lake): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
• Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin, Sorbitan Tristearate): Industrial emulsifiers indicate 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.
