Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Oyster Crackers scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Sodium Caseinate (Milk)): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate And Disodium Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
Within Cookies & Crackers, this product is more processed than about 51% of the 18,630 products we've analyzed.
