Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Multigrain Bread scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Light Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Emulsifiers (Mono-Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Industrial Enzymes (Natural Enzyme): 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.
