Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Saltine Crackers scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Industrial Enzymes (Microbial Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Cookies & Crackers, this product is more processed than about 17% of the 18,630 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
