What You Should Know

You’d spot this in the freezer or refrigerated dessert section as an easy-to-bake treat for cravings or last-minute hosting — think warm chocolate chip cookies without the mixing. It gives a nostalgic, indulgent vibe (chocolate, flaky sea salt) while also signaling a slightly ‘better-for-you’ positioning with alternative flours and recognizable ingredients. The formulation suggests minimal industrial additives and is designed for consistent texture and convenience, rather than heavy ultra-processed reformulation.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Ingredients are mainly recognizable foods (flours, eggs, butter, chocolate) with added sugar and salt, and there are no obvious synthetic emulsifiers or preservatives; this matches a processed food made for convenience rather than an ultra-processed industrial formulation.
