What You Should Know

You'd spot these vanilla pizzelles on a Whole Foods shelf or grab a pack for a coffee break, holiday cookie tray, or casual dessert. They feel nostalgic and lightly indulgent—thin, crisp wafers that mimic homemade pizzelles but come ready-to-eat. The ingredient list (enriched flour, added emulsifier, natural flavor, caramel color and formulated leavening agents) and the uniform texture point to significant industrial processing consistent with an ultra-processed product.
