- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Palm Oil, Coconut Oil, Palm Stearin)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 6, Fd & C Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
Within Cookies & Crackers, this product is more processed than about 51% of the 18,630 products we've analyzed.
