Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Chocolate Power Pie, Chocolate scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
• Processed Dairy Ingredients (Milk Protein Isolate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
• Processed Fruit Products (High Fat Cocoa Powder, Chocolate Natural Flavor With Other Natural Flavors): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
