Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Crispy Apple Chips 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.
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40, Blue 1, Yellow 5): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors, Vanilla Extract, Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzyme Modified Butter): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
Within Dried Fruit & Fruit Snacks, this product is more processed than about 98% of the 7,520 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
