Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Garden Salsa Flavored Whole Grain Snacks scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Chips & Crisps, this product is more processed than about 56% of the 10,682 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
