Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Pretzel Twists scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gum (As Thickener), Xanthan Gum (As Thickener)): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin (As Emulsifier)): 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.
