- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, Titanium Dioxide (Color). Black Candy Strings - Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 6, Red 40, Yellow 5, +3 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Coconut Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Arabic): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerol Monostearate): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Baking Supplies, this product is more processed than about 55% of the 5,060 products we've analyzed.
