Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Sweetly Sour Candy 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.
- Modified Starches (Modified Potato Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Artificial Colors (Blue 1, Red 40, Yellow 5, +1 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerine): 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.
