Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Emulsifiers (Organic Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Organic Vanilla Extract (Water, Organic Alcohol, Organic Vanilla Bean Extractives)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

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.
