Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, The Chewy Mint scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Coconut Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Other Additives (Carnauba Wax): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Gellan Gum, Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose, Gum Arabic): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Gum & Mints, this is among the less processed of the 1,470 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
