Mix

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Mix scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil Blend (Palm Kernel, Palm, Soybean And Cottonseed Oils)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Artificial Colors (Yellow 6 Lake, Yellow 5 Lake, Blue 2 Lake, Red 40 Lake): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
• Processed Fruit Products (Chocolate, Cocoa Processed With Alkali): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Arabic, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Nuts & Seeds, this product is more processed than about 84% of the 20,883 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
