Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Shredded Wheat Bite Size Crunch! scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Chemical Preservatives (Caramel Color. Bht Is Added To The Packaging Material To Preserve Product Freshness): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Within Breakfast Cereal, this product is more processed than about 77% of the 9,419 products we've analyzed.
