What You Should Know

You'd find these little cheddar chick crackers on the organic snacks shelf or in the cracker aisle — grabbed for lunchboxes, quick school snacks, or as a pantry staple for kid-friendly nibbling. They feel nostalgic and convenient with a wholesome organic spin, but the refined oils, chemical leavening, natural flavors and other additives signal industrial processing that produces a very crunchy, uniform, shelf-stable product typical of NOVA 4 ultra-processed foods.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

This ready-to-eat snack contains industrial ingredients and additives (highly refined oil, chemical leavening agents, natural flavors, preservatives/processing aids) and is formulated for texture and shelf life, consistent with NOVA 4 ultra-processed foods; organic ingredients do not change the level of industrial processing.

However, they do contain seed oils and aren't particularly high in protein or fiber, so they might not be the best choice if you're looking to fill up or boost your nutrient intake.
