Kaiser Rolls

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Dough Conditioners (Azodicarbonamide, Calcium Peroxide): Industrial bread additives not used in home baking.
• Other Additives (Sough Conditioners (Mono-Diglycerides, Ethoxylated Mono-Diglycerides)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
• Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes. May Be Topped With Corn Meal): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.

Within Bread, this product is more processed than about 48% of the 11,494 products we've analyzed.

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