Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Tennessee Taffy 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.
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Palm Kernel, Soybean, Cottonseed)With Lecithin): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5 And No. 6, Red 3 And No. 4): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Processed Fruit Products (Chocolate): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
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.
