Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Organic Popcorn, Caramel & Cheese scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Natural Flavors (Vanilla Extract* (Purified Water, Ethyl Alcohol*, Bourbon Vanilla Bean Extractives*), Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin*): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Popcorn & Pretzels, this product is more processed than about 43% of the 4,573 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
