Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Peanut Butter Bars scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Coconut Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
Within Candy, this product is more processed than about 32% of the 21,778 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
