What You Should Know

You’d spot these peanut butter creme sandwich cookies on the snack or cookie aisle and they’re the kind of packaged treat people tuck into lunchboxes or grab for an easy at-home snack. The product reads nostalgic and indulgent with a ‘better-for-you’ branding, but the creamy filling, refined flours, added sugars, emulsifiers and shelf-stable oils reveal industrial processing that produces a soft, long-lasting texture typical of ultra-processed foods.
