Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Processed Fruit Products (Chocolate): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Other Additives (Emulsifiers (Sorbitan Tristearate, Sucrose Esters Of Fatty Acids, Soy Lecithin)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Cookies & Crackers, this product is more processed than about 51% of the 18,630 products we've analyzed.
