Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, White Cheddar Snowballs scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Flavors (Natural & Artificial Flavor): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Chemical Preservatives (Bht): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Sodium Caseinate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
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.
