Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Bars scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Emulsifiers (Vegetable Glycerine): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Sugar Alcohols (Maltitol Syrup, Maltitol, Sorbitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Isolate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Powder, Soy Lecithin (An Emulsifier)Cocoa Powder (Processed With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): 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.
