Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Quaker Popped Rice Crisps Ranch scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean And/Or Cottonseed Oil (Adds A Dietarily Insignificant Amount Of Trans Fat)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5 Lake, Yellow 6, Red 40 Lake, +2 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate, Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Other Snacks, this product is more processed than about 65% of the 7,439 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
