Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cookie Caramel Crunch scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Meats (Hydrolyzed Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Caramel [Sugar, Corn Syrup, Non-Fat Dry Milk, Maltitol Syrup, Cocoa Butter, Corn Starch, Butter, Sucralose, Soy Lecithin (An Emulsifier), Natural And Artificial Flavors]): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Fats (Fractionated Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose, Acesulfame Potassium (An Artificial Sweetener)And Potassium Sorbate Added As A Preservative): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
- Sugar Alcohols (Chocolate Coating [Maltitol, Palm Kernel Oil, Whey Protein Concentrate, Sugar, Cocoa Powder, Soy Lecithin (An Emulsifier), Vanillin]): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
Within Snack & Energy Bars, this product is more processed than about 65% of the 8,001 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
