Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cheese & Garlic Croutons 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.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Chemical Preservatives (Tbhq): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Bread, this product is more processed than about 48% of the 11,494 products we've analyzed.
