Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Charritos, Corn Sticks scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Colors (Red 40, Fd&C Yellow 6, Fd&C Yellow 5 And Fd&C Blue 1): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Tbhq): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate, Flavor Identical To Natural): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Other Additives (Sodium Diacetate, Sodium Inosinate And Guanilate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Plant Proteins (Isolated Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
Within Other Snacks, this product is more processed than about 65% of the 7,439 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
