Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Artificial Colors (Yellow 6, Yellow 5, Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate, Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.

Within Other Snacks, this product is more processed than about 65% of the 7,439 products we've analyzed.
