Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Variety Snack Pack scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Corn-Based Sweeteners (Shortening Powder [Coconut Oil, Corn Syrup Solids, Sodium Caseinate]): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
  • Artificial Colors (Yellow 6, Yellow 5): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
  • Natural Flavors (Natural Smoke Flavor, Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
  • Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate And Disodium Guanylate, Disodium Guanylate, Disodium Inosinate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
  • Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.

Within Other Snacks, this product is more processed than about 65% of the 7,439 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
