Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Pretzel Bites 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 Starches (Modified Food Starch (Corn)): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
  • Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Red 40, +1 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
  • Other Additives (Confectioner'S Glaze): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
  • Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

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.
