Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Candy Decorating Kit scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Corn-Based Sweeteners (Dextrin, Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
Artificial Flavors (Artificial Vanilla Flavor): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
Artificial Colors (Red 40, Yellow 5, Blue 1): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Arabic, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Baking Supplies, this product is more processed than about 55% of the 5,060 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
