Dough Sheets

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Dough Sheets scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean And Cottonseed Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Maltose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Artificial Colors (Colored With (Artificial Color, Yellow 5, Red 40, Blue 1)): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
• Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
• Other Additives (Distilled Monoglycerides, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Crusts & Dough, this product is more processed than about 41% of the 2,350 products we've analyzed.

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