Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Valentine Message Cookie Kit scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup And High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Preservative - Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40, Red 3, Yellow 6, Yellow 6, Red 3, Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Mono- And Diglycerides, Polysorbate 60, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Cookies & Crackers, this product is more processed than about 51% of the 18,630 products we've analyzed.
