Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Gingerbread Man Cookie Kit scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup And High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Preservative - Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40, Yellow 6, Yellow 5, +2 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Modified Fats (Fractionated Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
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.
