Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Gourmet Peppermint Bark on a Chocolate Cookie scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Fully Hydrogenated Vegetable Fat (Palm)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Powder): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Other Additives (Emulsifier (Sunflower Lecithin), Acidity Regulator (Citric Acid)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Natural Flavors (Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
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.
