Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cookies scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Natural Flavors (Pure Vanilla, Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerine): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Modified Cellulose, Cellulose Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Cookies & Crackers, this product is more processed than about 51% of the 18,630 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
