Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Soft Bavarian Pretzels scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Other Additives (Sea Salt With Carnauba Wax, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Sodium Hydroxide, +1 more): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Sodium Alginate, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
Within Popcorn & Pretzels, this product is more processed than about 79% of the 4,573 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
