Graham Style Crumb

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Graham Style Crumb scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Modified Fats (Non-Hydrogenated Shortening (Palm Oil, Modified Palm Oil)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Glucose): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Plant Proteins (Pea Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
• Natural Flavors (Vanilla Extract): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Modified Cellulose, Pea Fiber; Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Baking Mixes, this product is more processed than about 55% of the 5,176 products we've analyzed.

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