Veggie Muffins

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Veggie Muffins scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Powder): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Peppermint Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Bread, this product is more processed than about 15% 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.
