Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Sugar Cookies scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, Dextrin): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Colors (Lake Red 40, Lake Yellow 5, Lake Blue 1): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Vanilla): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Other Additives (Carnauba Wax, Confectioner'S Glaze): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
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.
