Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Ichi-Ban Tako-Senbei scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Dextrin): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Proteins (Hydrolyzed Protein (From Soy Bean)): Extensive modification indicates UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Cookies & Crackers, this product is more processed than about 17% 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.
