What You Should Know

You’d spot these organic peanut butter balls in the snack aisle or near the checkout — a grab-and-go treat for lunchboxes or late-night cravings. They read wholesome because of organic ingredients, but their uniform shape, added sugars and shelf-stable additives give a sweet, indulgent snack vibe that leans on industrial processing. The ingredient list (multiple refined flours, added sugar, calcium carbonate and mixed tocopherols) and likely industrial forming tell you they’re a manufactured ready-to-eat product with a crunchy/chewy texture rather than a simple homemade snack.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

This is an industrially formulated, shelf-stable ready-to-eat snack with added sugar and technological additives (calcium carbonate, mixed tocopherols) and multiple processed flours, which fits NOVA group 4 (ultra-processed). The organic labeling doesn’t change the degree of industrial processing or the presence of sweeteners and stabilizing/antioxidant additives.
