Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

  • Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
  • Artificial Colors (Yellow 5 Lake, Yellow 6, Red 40, Yellow 5, Blue 1): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
  • Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
  • Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Chips & Crisps, this product is more processed than about 85% of the 10,682 products we've analyzed.
