• Processed Fruit Products (Nestle Toll House Cocoa): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Vanilla Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Baking Mixes, this product is more processed than about 55% of the 5,176 products we've analyzed.
