Ice Cream Bars

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Ice Cream Bars scores Ultra-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.
• Emulsifiers (Mono And Diglycerides, Polysorbate 80, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Locust Bean Gum, Carrageenan): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa And Cocoa Processed With Alkali, Chocolate Liquor): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.

Within Ice Cream & Frozen Desserts, this product is more processed than about 38% of the 14,928 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
