What You Should Know

You’d find these gluten-free Confetti Cookies on the snack or gluten-free aisle, or grabbed as an impulse treat near the checkout — a small, brightly packaged 6 oz box that reads as a playful, nostalgic party cookie. They feel indulgent and childlike (rainbow sprinkles, sweet cookie) while marketed as a ‘free to eat’ healthier option. The ingredient list and additives (modified starches, emulsifiers, colorants, maltodextrin, palm shortening) signal industrial formulation for a soft, shelf-stable texture and point to ultraprocessing rather than a homemade product.

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Common Questions about Confetti Cookies, 6 OZ

Well, that depends on your definition of healthy! These cookies are gluten-free and dairy-free, which is great if you have dietary restrictions. However, they do contain some sugar and are not high in protein or fiber, so they're more of an occasional treat than a health food.
