Watermelon Chili Hard Candy, 4 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot this small bag in the candy aisle, checkout racks, or tucked into party-favor piles — a bright, playful treat that pairs watermelon nostalgia with a spicy chili-lime kick. It feels indulgent and adventurous, the kind of sweet that sparks childhood memories but with an adult twist. The ingredient list and texture point to industrial processing: cooked sugar and corn syrup create a glassy hard candy while acids, flavorings and color extracts are typical markers of ultra-processed goods.

Ultra-Processed
Why this score?
A base of refined sugar and corn syrup plus added citric acid, natural flavorings and isolated color/oleoresin extracts indicate multiple industrial ingredients and manufacturing steps. These characteristics (formulated sweetener matrix, stabilizers/acidulants, and added flavors/colors) are consistent with ultra-processed foods (NOVA 4).
