Brownie Thins

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Brownie Thins scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Processed With Alkali, Chocolate Extract): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Natural Flavors (Vanilla Extract, Coffee): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Cakes & Pastries, this is among the less processed 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.
