Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cookies & Cream Bark scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Of: High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Flavors (Natural And Artificial Vanilla Flavor): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Other Additives (Distilled Monoglyceride): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa (Processed With Alkali), Natural And Artificial Chocolate Flavor): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
Within Candy, this product is more processed than about 32% of the 21,778 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
