Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cheese & Garlic Premium Croutons scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Dough Conditioners (Calcium Peroxide, Azodicarbonamide): Industrial bread additives not used in home baking.
- Chemical Preservatives (Tbhq): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Other Additives (Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Bread, this product is more processed than about 48% of the 11,494 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
