Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Decorated Short Bread Cookie scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Colors (Blue 1, Yellow 6, Yellow 5, Red 3, Red 40, Blue 2): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Milk Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerine): Industrial emulsifiers 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.
