Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Chex Mix, Snack Mix 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.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Yellow 5 Lake, Yellow 6 Lake And Other Color Added): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Other Additives (Distilled Monoglycerides): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate And Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
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.
