Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Cinnamon Nachos Dessert Kit scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Caramel Sauce: Corn Syrup, Dried Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Pectin, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Other Additives (Confectioner'S Glaze (Ethanol, Shellac, Corn Protein, Acetylated Monoglycerides), Carnauba Wax): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Baking Supplies, this product is more processed than about 55% of the 5,060 products we've analyzed.
