Contains partially hydrogenated oil (artificial trans fat) on top of refined flour, sugar, and artificial flavor. A processed cookie built for shelf life, not your health.

Why this verdict

• Refined enriched flour is the #1 ingredient
• Multiple sugar sources (sugar, dextrose, molasses) plus added artificial flavor
• Ultra-processed (NOVA 4) with dough conditioners like ammonium bicarbonate

Ingredients (11)

• Enriched Flour (moderate) — Refined wheat flour with synthetic vitamins added back; spikes blood sugar with little fiber.
• Chocolate Chips (sugar, chocolate liquor, dextrose, cocoa butter, soy lecithin) (moderate) — Real chocolate but sugar-first; the dextrose and lecithin add more processing.
• Partially Hydrogenated Soybean and/or Cottonseed Oil (harmful) — Source of artificial trans fat; raises bad cholesterol and is tied to heart disease. No safe level.
• Sugar (moderate) — Added sugar sitting ahead of cocoa; the main flavor driver here.
• molasses (moderate) — Second added sweetener; trace minerals but still sugar.
• Whey (safe) — Milk protein byproduct used for texture; harmless.
• Soy Lecithin (moderate) — Common emulsifier in the brownie; mild but adds to the additive pile.
• Ammonium bicarbonate (safe) — Traditional leavening agent for crisp cookies — harmless.
• Natural and Artificial Flavor (moderate) — Undisclosed lab-made flavor blend; not harmful but a marker of an engineered product.
• Dextrose (moderate) — A second added sugar, used on the chicken; spikes blood sugar fast.
• Corn Starch (moderate) — Refined starch used as a thickener/filler, adding fast carbs with no nutritional value.
