Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Bacon & Honey French scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate And Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors, Edta ( To Protect Flavor)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Other Additives (Propylene Glycol Aldinate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
