Raw Cookie Dough

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Raw Cookie Dough scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

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

Within Crusts & Dough, this product is more processed than about 41% of the 2,350 products we've analyzed.

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