Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Cardamom Chai Bar scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Plant Proteins (Pea Protein Crisps (Pea Protein, Rice Flour, Calcium Carbonate), Pea Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors, Black Tea): 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.
