Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Old Fashioned Milk scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Processed With Alkali): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Polysorbate 80. Carrageenan): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Milk, this product is more processed than about 77% of the 4,301 products we've analyzed.
