Sugar and partially hydrogenated oil with artificial color and a stack of stabilizers — a trans-fat-bearing decorating icing, not real food.

Why this verdict

Contains partially hydrogenated vegetable oil — industrial trans fat, the worst fat for your heart
Sugar is the #1 ingredient — a pure sugar load
Red 3 artificial color, a dye flagged for safety concerns
Stacked stabilizers and gums (carrageenan, cellulose gum, dextrin) plus waxes
Natural & artificial flavor — lab-built taste, zero nutrition

Sugar (moderate) — Added sugar sitting ahead of cocoa; the main flavor driver here.
Corn Starch (moderate) — Refined starch used as a thickener/filler, adding fast carbs with no nutritional value.
Partially hydrogenated vegetable oil (cottonseed and/or soybean) (harmful) — Source of industrial trans fat — raises bad cholesterol, lowers good, directly linked to heart disease.
rice flour (moderate) — Refined starch used as a cheap filler, not a nutritional addition.
Soy Lecithin (moderate) — Common emulsifier in the brownie; mild but adds to the additive pile.
dextrin (moderate) — Processed starch derivative used as a coating/binder — a marker of ultra-processing.
confectioner's glaze (moderate) — Shellac-based coating for shine; not nourishing.
gum arabic (moderate) — Stabilizer/thickener typical of processed coatings.
NATURAL & ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR (moderate) — Lab-built flavor blend with no nutritional value; the 'artificial' portion is fully synthetic.
Cellulose Gum (moderate) — Processed wood-pulp fiber used as a cheap bulking thickener; texture filler, not food.
Carrageenan (concerning) — Seaweed-derived stabilizer linked to intestinal inflammation in animal studies.
carnauba wax (safe) — Plant wax glazing agent for shine; inert in small amounts.
red 3 (harmful) — Erythrosine, being phased out by the FDA over cancer concerns in animal studies.
