Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Vanilla Cookie scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup Solids): 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 (Yellow 5, Blue 1, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Yellow 5 Lake, Blue 1 Lake, Red 40, Red 40 Lake, Blue 1): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Cookies & Crackers, this product is more processed than about 51% of the 18,630 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
