Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Whoopie Pies scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Hydrogenated Cottonseed Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Other Additives (Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate 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.
