Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Gumballs scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Glucose): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Base (Contains Natural Chicle), Gum Arabic): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors (Including Lemon, Grapefruit, Orange, Lime, Tangerine)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Other Additives (Carnauba Wax): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
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.
