Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Thumbprint Cookies scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (The Following: Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids, Dextrin): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40 Lake, Blue 1 Lake, Red 40, +3 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa, Cocoa Processed With Alkali): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
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.
