Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cookies scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Shortening (Cottonseed Oil Or Soybean Oil)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Glucose): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Processed Meats (Gelatine Without Flavor): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
- Artificial Colors (Artificial Color: (Fd & C Yellow 5, Fd & C Yellow 6, Fd & C Blue 1, Fd & C Red 40)): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
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.
