Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

  • Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
  • Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
  • Artificial Sweeteners (Potassium Sorbate And Sucralose): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
  • Emulsifiers (Vegetable Glycerin, Mono- & Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
  • Sugar Alcohols (Maltitol, Sorbitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.

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.
