Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Whey Protein Bars scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Meats (Hydrolyzed Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate (As A Preservative)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose, Neotame): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerlean [99.7% Usp Glycerine, Taurine, L-Leucine, Cla]): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Sugar Alcohols (Milk Chocolate Flavored Coating [Maltitol, Palm Kernel Oil, Non-Fat Dry Milk Solids, Cocoa Powder, Soy Lecithin, Salt, Natural Flavor], Peanut Butter Layer [Maltitol, Palm Kernel And Palm Oil, Peanut Butter, Defatted Peanut Flour, Non Fat Dry Milk Solids, Whey Powder, Peanuts, Salt, Soy Lecithin]): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
Within Snack & Energy Bars, this product is more processed than about 65% of the 8,001 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
