Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Other Additives (Emulsifier (Propylene Glycol, Mono- And Diesters Of Fats And Fatty Acids, Mono- And Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Cookies & Crackers, this product is more processed than about 51% of the 18,630 products we've analyzed.

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