Jumbo Cookie Kit

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Jumbo Cookie Kit scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Mini Marshmallows: Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
• Processed Fruit Products (Chocolate Liquor): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Other Additives (Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Baking Mixes, this product is more processed than about 55% of the 5,176 products we've analyzed.

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