Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Home Style Pecan Cookies scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate [Preservative]): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin, Mono And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Other Additives (Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Cookies & Crackers, this product is more processed than about 51% of the 18,630 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
