Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Light Corn Syrup scores Highly 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.
- Artificial Flavors (Artificial Vanilla Flavoring): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Other Additives (Propylene Glycol): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Natural Flavors (Vanillin, Ethyl Vanillin): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Honey & Syrups, this product is more processed than about 74% of the 3,559 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
