Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Colors (Artificial Color (Fd&C: Blue 1 & 2, Red 3 & 40, Green 3, Yellow 5 & 6)): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Emulsifiers (Mono & Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin, Polysorbate 60): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa (Alkalized)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
