Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Black & White Cookies scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Soybean And Cottonseed), Hydrogenated Palm Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Artificial Flavors (Natural And Artificial Vanilla Flavor): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
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.
