Chewy Granola Bar

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

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

• Processed Fruit Products (Chocolate Liquor, Cocoa Powder (Dutch Alkalized)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Snack & Energy Bars, this product is more processed than about 23% 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.
