Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Sunshine Cheez-It Crackers Atomic Cheddar .75oz 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.
- Other Additives (Sodium Diacetate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Natural Flavors (Dry Flavoring (Red Pepper, Distilled Vinegar, Salt)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Guanylate, Disodium Inosinate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate 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.
