Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Complete Whey Protein Complex scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Powder (Processed With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors. Contains Less Than 2% Of: Gum Blend (Cellulose Gum, Xanthan Gum)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Protein Shakes & Meal Replacements, this product is more processed than about 17% of the 2,287 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
