Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Ugly Sweater Cookie Kit scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Less Than 2% Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Colors (Blue 1, Blue 2 Lake, Red 40 Lake, +6 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Other Additives (Carnauba Wax, Confectioner'S Glaze): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Cookies & Crackers, this product is more processed than about 51% 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.
