Pecan Log

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Pecan Log 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 Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Sugar Alcohols (Sorbitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
• Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Nuts & Seeds, this product is more processed than about 84% of the 20,883 products we've analyzed.

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