Wafers

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Contains Soybean Oil And Pal Oil)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Chemical Preservatives (Antioxidants (Tbhq, Octyl Gallate). Contains Gluten): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
• Other Additives (Emulsifier (Soy Lecithin)): 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.
