What You Should Know

You'd spot these golden creme sandwich cookies in the cookie aisle or tossed into lunchboxes — an easy grab for after-school snacks, office breaks, or road trips. They feel nostalgic and indulgent, trading on creamy filling and a uniform crunch that mimics homemade treats but is engineered for convenience. The ingredient list (refined flour, cane sugar, multiple vegetable oils, an emulsifier and natural flavor) and the creamy filling point to industrial formulation and long shelf life typical of UPFs.

Ultra-Processed

The product is formulated for standardized texture, sweetness and shelf stability rather than minimal processing, so it fits NOVA group 4.
