Crackers

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Other Additives (Leavenings (Sodium Bicarbonate, Monocalcium Phosphate, Ammonium Bicarbonate), Emulsifier (Soy Lecithin)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
• Natural Flavors (Flavor Enhancer (Monosodium Glutamate)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Industrial Enzymes (Amylolytic Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.

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.
