Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Protein Bar scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Emulsifiers (Vegetable Glycerin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Processed Fruit Products (Unsweetened Chocolate, Cocoa (Processed With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Sugar Alcohols (Erythritol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
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.
