Raisin Bread

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Raisin Bread scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Dough Conditioners (L-Cysteine): Industrial bread additives not used in home baking.
• Emulsifiers (Datem, Mono & Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate 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.
