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

• Other Additives (Sodium Pyrophosphate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Baking Mixes, this product is more processed than about 21% of the 5,176 products we've analyzed.
