Dry Roasted Sea Salt Peanuts

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Dry Roasted Sea Salt Peanuts scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate, Natural Flavors (Contains Cereal With Gluten)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Nuts & Seeds, this product is more processed than about 66% 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.
