What You Should Know

You'd spot this small packet of peppermint mints in the checkout or candy aisle, often grabbed for a quick breath freshener or to tuck into a purse or pocket. The vibe is nostalgic and practical — a simple, old-fashioned candy that evokes holiday or after-meal rituals. The ingredient list (refined sugars, dextrose, 'natural flavors' and processing aids) and the fondant-based manufacturing point to intensive industrial processing that yields a uniform hard texture typical of ultra-processed confections.

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed
