Summary
This product is ultra-processed and contains industrial seed oils, which are linked to inflammation and other health concerns. The presence of 'natural flavors' adds to the processing level, and the use of refined ingredients like cornmeal further reduces its nutritional quality. Despite being baked, the combination of these factors places it in a low health category for packaged snacks.
