Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Base Protein Bar scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Fractionated Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Isolate, Organic Soy Protein Isolate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerine, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa (Processed With Alkali), Unsweetened Chocolate, Organic Cocoa): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Snack & Energy Bars, this product is more processed than about 23% 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.
