What You Should Know

You'd spot this bag in the salad toppings or soup aisle and reach for it when you want an easy crunch on a weeknight salad or a quick lunch. It gives a familiar, slightly nostalgic vibe — crunchy, savory bites that make a simple dish feel finished — and the organic ingredient list signals a more 'wholesome' positioning. The texture comes from industrial baking/toasting of basic flour, oil and yeast components, which points to a processed product rather than a minimally processed whole food.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from basic baking ingredients (flour, oil, yeast, salt, small amount of sugar and dried seasonings) and produced by industrial baking/toasting, this is a processed packaged food rather than an ultra‑processed formulation with cosmetic additives or emulsifiers.
