What You Should Know

You'd likely find this in the natural foods, gluten-free, or grab-and-go snack aisle and bring it along for lunchboxes, road trips, or a quick sweet bite at work. It trades on nostalgic sandwich-cookie comfort while projecting a 'cleaner indulgence' vibe thanks to ingredients like oat flour, dates, and coconut sugar. The soft cookie-and-creme texture and use of powdered sugars, palm oil, tapioca starch and "natural flavors" point to industrial formulations and shelf-stable processing typical of ultra-processed products.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Although it contains whole-sounding ingredients (oat flour, dates, flax), the product also includes industrial ingredients and multi-ingredient formulations—palm oil, powdered sugar, tapioca starch, prebiotic isolates and natural flavors—used to create a shelf-stable, highly processed texture and taste, consistent with NOVA 4 (ultra-processed).

Common Questions about Oatmeal Creme Sandwich Cookie, 4.6 OZ

Well, 'healthy' can be a bit subjective, right? These cookies are made with gluten-free oat flour and organic ingredients, which is a plus for many. They do have some sugar from coconut nectar and dates, but in moderation, they can fit into a balanced diet — just don't expect them to replace your kale salad!
