Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

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

• Emulsifiers (Emulsifier Monoglycerides And Diglycerides Of Fatty Acids): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Flavorings): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Bread, this product is more processed than about 15% of the 11,494 products we've analyzed.

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