Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Chewy Sweet & Salt Bars scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Maltose Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Fats (Fractionated Palm Kernel Oil, Hydrogenated Cottonseed Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerin, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors, Vanilla Extract): 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.
