What You Should Know

You'd find Cappello's Buttermilk Biscuits in the freezer or gluten-free bakery aisle, pulled out for a quick weekend breakfast, holiday side, or cozy brunch. They feel nostalgic and comforting—rich and buttery yet positioned as a wholesome, gluten-free indulgence. The ingredient list (multiple refined starches, xanthan gum, chemical leaveners and ‘natural flavor’) points to industrial processing used to recreate flaky texture and shelf stability, a hallmark of ultra-processed formulations.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

This ready-to-heat packaged biscuit contains multiple processed flours/starches, a hydrocolloid (xanthan gum), chemical leaveners and 'natural flavor'—ingredients and processing steps typical of industrial formulations, so it classifies as ultra-processed (NOVA 4).

Common Questions about Buttermilk Biscuits, 12.1 OZ

Well, 'healthy' can be a bit of a moving target, right? These biscuits pack in some tasty buttermilk and almond flour, which offers a bit of protein and healthy fats. But at 180 calories each and with some saturated fat from the butter and coconut oil, it's best to enjoy these as an occasional treat rather than a daily staple.
