What You Should Know

You might spot this bag in the natural snacks aisle or near rice cakes and specialty Asian snacks — easy to grab at checkout or to toss into a lunchbox. It tastes light, nutty and slightly savory, offering a wholesome, slightly nostalgic snap but with a modern snack vibe. The crisp puffed texture and the use of powdered tamari (which includes maltodextrin) indicate industrial processing steps and ingredients associated with more highly processed packaged snacks.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Despite whole-grain rice and seeds as primary ingredients, the product is a ready-to-eat industrially produced puffed snack that includes powdered tamari containing organic corn maltodextrin and added sugar; those industrial additives and processing steps align with NOVA group 4 (ultra-processed).
