Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Holiday Treats scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Colors (Artificial Colors (Includes Fd&C: Red 40 Lake, Yellow 5 Lake, Blue 1 Lake)): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Processed Fruit Products (The Following Cocoa Powder): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin - An Emulsifier): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Chips & Crisps, this product is more processed than about 85% of the 10,682 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
