Caffe Latte Almonds

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Caffe Latte Almonds 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.
• Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate [Preservative]): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
• Natural Flavors (Grounded Coffee, Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Arabic): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Other Additives (Confectioner'S Glaze): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Nuts & Seeds, this product is more processed than about 84% of the 20,883 products we've analyzed.
