Gelato Bars

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Gelato Bars scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, Pizzelle Pieces (Wheat Flour, Sugar, Soybean Oil, Soy Lecithin, Salt). Caramel Variegate: Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Pectin): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
