Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Lean Protein Meal Bar scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Sugar Alcohols (Maltitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerine, Soy Lecithin [Emulsifier]): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Powder): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
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.
