Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

  • Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch, Modified Tapioca Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
  • Artificial Colors (Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
  • Emulsifiers (Glycerin, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
  • Stabilizers & Gums (Dried Cream Cheese (Milk, Cream, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Carob Bean Gum). Contains 2% Or Less Of: Dried Buttermilk, Cellulose Gel, Locust Bean Gum, +1 more): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
  • Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

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.
