Anytime Bar

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
• Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Isolate, Milk Protein Isolate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
• Sugar Alcohols (Maltitol Syrup): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
• Emulsifiers (Vegetable Glycerin, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Processed Fruit Products (Unsweetened Chocolate, Cocoa): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.

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.
