Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies 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.
- Artificial Flavors (Artificial Vanilla Flavor): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Chocolate, this product is more processed than about 67% of the 9,618 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
