What You Should Know

You'd spot this pack in the refrigerated dough or bakery aisle when grabbing something quick for weekend brunch or a holiday breakfast — think warm, flaky biscuits without the fuss. The product gives a nostalgic, comforting Southern-biscuits vibe and, based on the ingredient list (flour, buttermilk, butter, sugar, chemical leaveners and enzymes), the texture and rise come from industrial baking aids; it reads as a processed packaged biscuit rather than a highly formulated snack.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Ingredients are mainly recognizable culinary items (wheat flour, buttermilk, butter) with added chemical leaveners and enzymes used in industrial baking; absence of long lists of artificial additives points to a processed food (NOVA 3) rather than a highly industrially formulated ultra-processed product.
