  • Industrial Enzymes (White Cheddar Cheese (Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes).Contains 2% Or Less Of Salt): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
  • Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
  • 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.
