- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Red 40 Lake (Color)Natural Smoke Flavoring): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Modified Proteins (Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein): Extensive modification indicates UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Popcorn & Pretzels, this product is more processed than about 79% of the 4,573 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
