Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Biscuits scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Sodium Caseinate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Datem, Mono- & Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Bread, this product is more processed than about 15% of the 11,494 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
