Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bar

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

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

• Stabilizers & Gums (Rbst-Free Cream Cheese (Pasteurized Milk And Cream, Cheese Culture, Salt, Stabilizers (Carob Bean And/Or Xanthan And/Or Guar Gums))): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Vanilla Extract): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Cakes & Pastries, this is among the less processed of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
