Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Toasted Rice Kcrackers 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.
• Artificial Colors (Yellow 6): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
• Natural Flavors (Seaweed Flavor And Flakes): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Cookies & Crackers, this product is more processed than about 51% of the 18,630 products we've analyzed.
