Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Ringo Sandwich Cookie scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Modified Fats (Non-Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils And Fat (Sunflower, Rapeseed, Shea)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Artificial Flavors (Artificial Vanilla Flavor): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
• Processed Fruit Products (Fat-Reduced Cocoa): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.

Within Cookies & Crackers, this product is more processed than about 17% of the 18,630 products we've analyzed.
