Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Kellogg Apple Jacks .9oz 100ct scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch, Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 6, Blue 1, Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Breakfast Cereal, this product is more processed than about 77% of the 9,419 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
