Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Keystone, the Original Party Mix scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40 Lake, Yellow 6 Lake, Artificial Color: Yellow 5, +1 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Plant Proteins (Hydrolyzed Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate, Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Other Snacks, this product is more processed than about 65% of the 7,439 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
