Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Crunch Peanuts 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 Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Polyglycerol Fatty Acid Ester): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Flavor Enhancer): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
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.
