Chocolate Chip Waffle

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Stabilizers & Gums (Almond Milk ( (Filtered Water, Almonds), Sea Salt, Locust Bean Gum, Sunflower Lecithin, Gellan Gum, Natural Flavor), Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Pure Vanilla Extract (Vanilla Bean Extractives In Water, Alcohol)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Frozen Breakfast, this product is more processed than about 39% of the 1,791 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
