What You Should Know

You’d spot this bag of organic seasoned croutons near salad toppings or in the bread/cracker aisle, grabbed when you want an easy crunch for salads or soups. It gives a wholesome, slightly nostalgic pantry boost — familiar comfort with an organic, store-brand twist. The ingredient list and baked format suggest processed baking for crisp texture and shelf life (added wheat gluten, oils, and seasoning), consistent with a processed rather than minimally processed product.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Contains mainly recognizable ingredients (organic flours, cracked grains, spices, expeller-pressed oils) and is a baked, shelf-stable product; formulation and added functional ingredients like wheat gluten and oils indicate industrial processing typical of NOVA group 3 (processed foods) rather than ultra-processed formulations with artificial additives.
