• Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa (Processed With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Processed Dairy Ingredients (Wheat Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Baking Mixes, this product is more processed than about 55% of the 5,176 products we've analyzed.
