Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Natural Flavors (Vanilla Extract): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Nuts & Seeds, this product is more processed than about 66% of the 20,883 products we've analyzed.
