Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Candy Gems Chocolate Chip Cookies scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

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.
