Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

- Emulsifiers (Vegetable Glycerin, Mono & Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
Within Bread, this product is more processed than about 15% of the 11,494 products we've analyzed.
