Modified Fats (Palm And/Or Soybean And Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
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.
