What You Should Know

You'd spot these grain-free churro strips in the gluten-free/health-food snack aisle or in your pantry as a convenient cinnamon-sugar treat for movie nights or lunchboxes. They give a nostalgic, indulgent vibe while being marketed as a cleaner, grain-free alternative. The ingredient list is mostly recognizable, but the use of refined cassava starch, added sweeteners and packaged-snack processing hints at a manufactured crisp texture rather than a minimally processed whole-food snack.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Contains whole-food-derived ingredients but also refined cassava starch, added sugars and oil and is a packaged snack — characteristics of processed foods; it lacks the industrial additives and formulations typical of NOVA 4, so it best fits NOVA 3 (processed).
