Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Original Mini Snack Mix scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Tbhq): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch, Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Methylcellulose, Sodium Alginate): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Industrial Enzymes (Rehydrated Enzyme Modified Cheese (Water, Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes)): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Bread, this product is more processed than about 48% of the 11,494 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
