Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Strawberry Licorice Wheels scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Flavors (Artificial Flavorings): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerol, Mono And Diglycerides Of Fatty Acids): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Sugar Alcohols (Sorbitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
- Other Additives (Beeswax): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Candy, this is among the less processed 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.
