Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Patriot Pretzels scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Colors (Titanium Dioxide (An Artificial Color), Artificial Colors Including: Red 3, Blue 1, +2 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Flavors (Vanillin (An Artificial Flavor)): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Powder (Processed With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Other Additives (Distilled Monoglyceride, Confectioner'S Glaze, Carnauba Wax): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
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.
