Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Blondie Bites scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Shortening (Soybean & Cottonseed Oil)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Artificial Colors (Blue 2, Fd&C Yellow 5, Fd&C Yellow 6): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Processed Fruit Products (Chocolate Liquor): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin ( Added As An Emulsifier)): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
