What You Should Know

You'd find these in the cookie/snack aisle or your pantry—an easy grab for lunchboxes, movie nights, or a coffee break. They feel nostalgic and indulgent, but the ingredient list (refined wheat flour, multiple added sugars and syrups, industrial oil, emulsifier and prepared chocolate) and the likely engineered chewy texture point to industrial processing and shelf-stable formulation typical of ultra-processed snacks.
