Spooky Mix

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
• Modified Fats (Fractionated Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Glucose): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Artificial Colors (Red 40, Blue 1, Yellow 5, +1 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gum, Gum Arabic): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Baking Supplies, this product is more processed than about 55% of the 5,060 products we've analyzed.
