Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5 Lake, Yellow 6 Lake, Yellow 6, +1 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Other Snacks, this product is more processed than about 65% of the 7,439 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
