What You Should Know

You'd spot these in the snack aisle or the kids' lunchbox section—small, airy mini rice cakes coated with a sweet, s'more-like flavor for on-the-go snacking, movie nights, or lunchbox nostalgia. The mix of refined rice and corn flours, added cane sugar and palm kernel oil plus vague “natural flavors” points to industrial processing that creates a crisp, candy-like texture and flavor rather than a whole-food snack.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

The product contains multiple refined starches/flours, added sugars, industrial oils (palm kernel oil), and 'natural flavors,' which are hallmarks of industrial formulations rather than minimally processed foods, placing it in NOVA 4. The ingredient list and expected airy, coated texture indicate significant processing to achieve flavor and shelf stability.
