Cosomi

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Glucose): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Natural Flavors (Flavor (Coconut Flavor, Milk Flavor)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Cookies & Crackers, this product is more processed than about 51% of the 18,630 products we've analyzed.

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