What You Should Know

You'd spot these organic brown rice snaps on the natural/organic snack shelf or in a lunchbox aisle, grabbed as a light, crispy alternative to chips. They give a wholesome, nostalgic rice-cake vibe — marketed as a healthier crunchy snack — but the ready-to-eat, puffed texture and small technical additives hint at industrial processing. The presence of added oil, rice flour in vegetable pieces and anti-caking/acidulant ingredients suggests a manufactured snack rather than a fresh whole food.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Although ingredients are mostly recognizable and organic, the product is a ready-to-eat, industrially processed snack with added oil, rice flours, and additives (silicon dioxide, citric acid) and uses manufacturing techniques to create a puffed texture, consistent with NOVA group 4 (ultra-processed).
