Organic Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups, 1.4 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot this 1.4 oz organic peanut butter cup in the candy aisle or at the checkout — a small, grab-and-go treat for movie nights, road trips, or a nostalgic afternoon snack. It reads indulgent and a bit wholesome because of "organic" ingredients and real peanuts, but its smooth, shelf-stable texture and ingredients like added cane sugar, palm oil, sunflower lecithin and peanut flour reflect industrial formulation. Those characteristics — reconstituted components, emulsifiers and added oils/sugars in a packaged confection — point toward extensive processing typical of ultra-processed foods.
