Sun-Maid Choc & Peanut Butter Yogurt Covered Raisins 6-Pk/.75oz Ctn: Food Integrity analysis

Updated 2026-10-19 · Sun-Maid

Quick answer

Lower integrity

Sun-Maid choc & peanut butter yogurt covered raisins 6-pk/.75oz ctn received a Food Integrity Score of 52 out of 100 (lower integrity). This reflects ultra-processed and high additive load. Raisins are a simple whole food, but this coating is built from refined sugar, hydrogenated and palm-based fats, emulsifiers, and gums, so it reads more like a candy formula than a snack made from recognizable parts. It is best treated as an occasional treat rather than an everyday snack. Main considerations include hydrogenated palm kernel oil in the coating, multiple emulsifiers, gums, and flavor systems, and confectioners glaze and refined palm/peanut oils. Simpler options: Choose plain raisins or dried fruit with no coating; pick a snack with a short list of recognizable nuts, fruit, or dark chocolate.

Food Integrity results

Choc & Peanut Butter Yogurt Covered Raisins 6-Pk/.75oz Ctn

Sun-Maid

Lower integrity

Warning Signs

Hydrogenated palm kernel oil, palm kernel oil, and confectioners glaze stand out in this coating, and hydrogenated fats are a clear watchlist item.

Consider This

Gum acacia, tapioca dextrin, soy lecithin, and natural vanilla flavor show formulation helpers layered over the raisins and coating.

Good Substitutes

Plain raisins with a small handful of unsweetened dark chocolate or peanut butter you mix yourself keeps the ingredient list short.

Overall Assessment

Lower integrity

Raisins are a simple whole food, but this coating is built from refined sugar, hydrogenated and palm-based fats, emulsifiers, and gums, so it reads more like a candy formula than a snack made from recognizable parts. It is best treated as an occasional treat rather than an everyday snack.

Understanding the Food Integrity analysis

What the Food Integrity analysis evaluates

The Food Integrity analysis focuses on how a packaged food is formulated and made. It examines processing level, ingredient quality, additives, oils, sweeteners, purity cues, and how clearly a label communicates what is in the product. The Food Integrity Score summarizes that formulation and transparency picture on a 0–100 scale. It is not a full nutrient report and it is not a personalized meal plan.

Why processing, ingredients, and transparency matter

Processing level and ingredient quality shape what you are actually eating beyond calories on the label. Additives, industrial oils, and intense sweeteners can change how clean or heavily engineered a product feels, even when the front of pack looks wholesome. Purity and transparency matter because incomplete or marketing-heavy labeling can hide tradeoffs that only show up when the full ingredient list is reviewed carefully.

Who may prioritize Food Integrity

Some people care mainly about Food Integrity because their dietary goals center on formulation rather than macros alone. Examples include checking vegetarian or vegan suitability, preferring simpler ingredient sources, avoiding certain additives or sweeteners, watching oil choices, or preferring less processed options. For those priorities, the Food Integrity Score can be the more practical first read.

How Food Integrity differs from Longevity

Food Integrity is the focused analysis of processing, ingredients, additives, purity, and transparency. Longevity is the broader analysis of nutritional composition, metabolic and dietary characteristics, processing, and ingredient quality together. Favorable nutrition values do not necessarily mean strong Food Integrity: a product can look balanced on macros yet still rely on heavy processing or additives that the Food Integrity analysis flags in more detail.

Why the two analyses overlap—and why to review Longevity too

The analyses overlap intentionally. Food Integrity–related characteristics contribute to Longevity, and Longevity still benefits from the same ingredient-quality lens. They are not competing verdicts; they answer different questions at different depths. Reviewing the Longevity analysis can add information about nutritional composition, metabolic characteristics, and dietary balance that Food Integrity alone does not emphasize. Looking at both usually gives the most complete understanding of tradeoffs.
