Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Dark Rye Bread scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Other Additives (Dough Conditioners (May Contain One Or More Of The Following: Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Ethoxylated Mono- And Diglycerides, Monocalcium Phosphate, Calcium Sulfate, Ascorbic Acid)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
Within Bread, this product is more processed than about 48% of the 11,494 products we've analyzed.
