Premium Brownie Mix

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Premium Brownie Mix scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa, Cocoa (Processed With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor (Contains Peanuts)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Baking Mixes, this product is more processed than about 55% of the 5,176 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
