Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Reduced Fat Chocolate Milk, Chocolate scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Fruit Products (Organic Cocoa, Organic Cocoa (Processed With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Gellan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Milk, this product is more processed than about 77% of the 4,301 products we've analyzed.
