Almond Fudge Brownie

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Almond Fudge Brownie scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose, Sucralose And Potassium Sorbate Added As A Preservative): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
• Artificial Flavors (Vanillin (An Artificial Flavor)): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
• Modified Fats (Fractionated Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Processed Fruit Products (Chocolate Coating, Cocoa Powder): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Natural Flavors (Vanilla And Salt): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Snack & Energy Bars, this product is more processed than about 65% of the 8,001 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
