Biscotti

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

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

• Modified Fats (Non Hydrogenated Vegetable Fat): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Processed Fruit Products (Cacao Powder 4): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.

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.
