Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, A Peanut Butter Graham Cracker Snack Bar scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Cottonseed And Rapeseed Oil, Partially Hydrogenated Soy Bean Oil, Partially Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Flavors (Vanillin (An Artificial Flavoring)): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Natural Flavors (Vanilla): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin, Sorbitan Monostearate, Polysorbate 60): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Candy, this product is more processed than about 32% of the 21,778 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
