Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Kellogg's Cheez It Crackers Cheddar Jack 3oz scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

- Industrial Enzymes (Cheese Made With Skim Milk (Skim Milk, Whey Protein, Salt, Cheese Cultures, Enzymes, Annatto Extract Color). Contains 2% Or Less Of Salt): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Cookies & Crackers, this product is more processed than about 51% of the 18,630 products we've analyzed.
