Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Vitamin Candy scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Colors (Red 40 Beta Carotene): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
- Sugar Alcohols (Sorbitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
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.
