• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Red 3, Blue 1, Red 40, Yellow 6, Blue 2): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
• Artificial Flavors (Natural And Artificial Flavores): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
• Emulsifiers (Sot Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Other Additives (Confectioner'S Glaze, Carnauba Wax): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Popcorn & Pretzels, this product is more processed than about 79% of the 4,573 products we've analyzed.
