Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Apple Chips scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Dried Fruit & Fruit Snacks, this product is more processed than about 91% of the 7,520 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
