What You Should Know

You'd spot this box tucked on the Whole Foods snack or cracker shelf or pulled from the pantry when assembling a cheese board or packing a picnic — a simple, reliable staple. It gives a light, crisp, slightly nostalgic vibe: plain, wholesome, and meant to showcase toppings rather than steal the show. The ingredient list and texture point to industrial processing of basic ingredients (enriched flour and added oil) that yield a consistent, dry crispness—processed but without the long list of cosmetic additives typical of ultra‑processed foods.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from enriched wheat flour, added palm oil and salt and produced into a packaged cracker, it represents a processed product with added ingredients and industrial preparation but lacks the extensive additives and flavor enhancers that characterize ultra‑processed foods.
