Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Sugar Free Dark Chocolate scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Sweeteners (Contains 0.5% Or Less Of The Following; Sucralose, Acesulfame K): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
- Sugar Alcohols (Maltitol Syrup): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Powder (Procedded Wiyh Alkali), Chocolate Liquor): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors, Coffee Extract): 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.
