Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cookies scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate, Bht): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Other Additives (Propylene Glycol Monostearate, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate): 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.
