What You Should Know

You'd spot these in the candy/snack aisle or at the checkout, a grab-and-go treat for movie nights, road trips, or a nostalgic lunchbox surprise. They deliver an indulgent, peanut-butter-cup vibe while leaning on a ‘better-for-you’ impression thanks to organic labeling. The smooth, glossy shell and shelf-stable filling come from refined sugars, palm oil and emulsifiers, signaling industrial formulation and ultra-processed characteristics.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

This is a multi-ingredient, industrially formulated confection containing added sugars, refined ingredients (peanut flour), palm oil and emulsifiers (soy/sunflower lecithin), which are typical markers of NOVA 4 ultra-processed foods. Organic sourcing doesn't change the level of processing or the use of additives for texture and shelf stability.

Common Questions about Organic White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups, 1.4 OZ

Well, 'healthy' can be a bit subjective! These cups are organic and free from artificial sweeteners and preservatives, which is a plus. However, they do pack a sugar punch with 16 grams per cup, so if you're watching your sugar intake, you might want to enjoy these as an occasional treat rather than a daily snack.
