Hazelnut Non-Dairy Creamer

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Hazelnut Non-Dairy Creamer scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids*): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
• Processed Dairy Ingredients (Sodium Caseinate (A Milk Derivative)): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
• Other Additives (Monoglycerides): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
• Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
