Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Black & White Cookies scores Ultra-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.
- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate Preservative): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Other Additives (Each Of The Following: Emulsifier Blend (Propylene Glycol Monoesters, Mono- And Diglycerides, Citric Acid), Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Processed With Alkali): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant 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.
