Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Popcron scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Yellow 5 Lake): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Bha. Caramel Corn - Ingredients: Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Nuts & Seeds, this product is more processed than about 84% of the 20,883 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
