Desserts

Why Does This Score Processed?

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

• Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Isolate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
• Sugar Alcohols (Xylitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
• Processed Fruit Products (Organic Cocoa Powder): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Natural Flavors (Pure Vanilla Extract): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Locust Bean Gum, Carrageenan): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Sports & Energy Drinks, this is among the less processed of the 922 products we've analyzed.

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