Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Spring Thumbprint Cookies scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Flavors (Natural & Artificial Flavor): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Icing [Sugar, Water, Corn Syrup, Agar, Artificial Color (Yellow 5), Potassium Sorbate (Preservative)Citric Acid, Natural And Artificial Flavor, Locust Bean Gum, Mono And Diglycerides]): 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.
