Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Brownies scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Processed With Alkali): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Acacia Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Vanilla Extract): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Cakes & Pastries, this is among the less processed of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
