Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Devil's Food Cookies 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 (Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Coconut And/Or Palm Kernel And/Or Palm)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Powder (Processed With Alkali), Cocoa Powder): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerine, Soy Lecithin): 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.
