Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Processed Fruit Products (Chocolate Processed With Alkali): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
Within Cookies & Crackers, this product is more processed than about 51% of the 18,630 products we've analyzed.
