Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Pecan Brittle, Pecan scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Light Corn Syrup (Salt, Vanilla Extract (Vanilla Beans, Water, Ethyl Alcohol))): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Nuts & Seeds, this product is more processed than about 66% of the 20,883 products we've analyzed.
