Arch Cashew Nougat Box
What You Should Know
Archway® Cashew Nougat Box is a bite-size cookie treat that sits on grocery shelves in the cookie and snack aisle, often stacked near other nostalgic cookie brands, boxed sandwich cookies, and holiday cookie assortments. Shoppers might pick it up during weekly stock-up trips, for movie-night candy-and-cookie mixes, back-to-school lunchbox variety, or as a small hostess offering for casual get-togethers. The brand leans into homestyle, heritage positioning — a mid-century American cookie company presenting itself as comfortingly familiar and affordable, aimed at families and shoppers seeking a classic, slightly retro snack rather than gourmet or specialty baked goods. The front label emphasizes flavor and tradition rather than health; typical packaging highlights taste and nuts, with no organic or non-GMO certification and modest “natural and artificial flavors” disclosure in the ingredients, which can create a mild health-halo for less-scrutinous buyers. In plain terms the product is a processed, shelf-stable cookie assembled from refined flour, added sugar, and vegetable oils with emulsifiers and flavorings. Sensory details: the cookies are small and crisp with a tender nougat-like center studded with roasted cashew pieces, a light caramel hue from colorants, and a slightly oily sheen from palm/canola oils; texture alternates between crunchy edges and a chewy interior. Packaged in a small, sealed cardboard box with inner tray or bag, they’re ritualized as grab-and-share snacks at coffee breaks, school lunches, or put out on a casual cookie plate for visitors. The overall impression is comforting, convenient, and indulgent.

Ultra-Processing Assessment
Ultra-Processed
Why this score?
This product is ultraprocessed (NOVA 4) because it is formulated from refined ingredients and industrial components — enriched bleached flour, added sugars, blended vegetable oils, emulsifiers, artificial and natural flavors, and colorants — rather than primarily whole foods.
