Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Saltines Crackers scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Emulsifiers (Datem**): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Industrial Enzymes (Sodium Sulfite And Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
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.
