Diet Sorbet Bars

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

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

• Artificial Sweeteners (Beetroot Red. Sucralose (Splenda Brand)): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
• Sugar Alcohols (Maltitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
• Emulsifiers (Glycerol): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Other Additives (Stabilizers (Mono & Diglycerides Of Fatty Acids, Carboxy Methyl Cellulose, Locust Bean Gum, Carrageenan)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
• Natural Flavors (Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Ice Cream & Frozen Desserts, this is among the less processed 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.
