Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

Artificial Flavors (Vanillin (Artificial Flavor)): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate (As A Preservative)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Artificial Colors (Red 40 & Fd&C Blue 1): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
Stabilizers & Gums (Carrageenan Gum, Xanthan Gum, Pectin, +1 more): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

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.
