Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Chemical Preservatives (Freshness Preserved By Bht, Freshness Preserved By Sodium Metabisulfite And Bht): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup, +1 more): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Yellow 5 Lake, +1 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
Other Additives (Distilled Monoglycerides, Sodium Diacetate, Monoglycerides): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Plant Proteins (Hydrolyzed Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.

Within Other Snacks, this product is more processed than about 65% of the 7,439 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
