Good to Go Bars

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Modified Fats (Fractionated Palm Kernel And Palm Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Plant Proteins (Soy Protein Nuggets (Soy Protein Isolate, Tapioca Starch, Salt)): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
• Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Isolate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
• Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa (Processed With Alkali), Unsweetened Chocolate): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

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.
