Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Chocolate Nutrition Shake scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Milk Protein Isolate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa (Processed With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gel, Cellulose Gum, Carrageenan): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Other Additives (Sodium Ascorbate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Sports & Energy Drinks, this product is more processed than about 62% of the 922 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
