Creme Rolls

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Artificial Colors (Blue 2 Lake, Red 40 Lake, Red 3): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
• Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin, Sorbitan Monostearate, Polysorbate 60, +1 more): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate 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.
