Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Party Mix scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 6, Red 40 Lake): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Sodium Caseinate, Whey Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Guanylate): 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.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
