Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Protein Snack Bar scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Plant Proteins (Soy Protein Nugget (Soy Protein Isolate, Alkalized Cocoa, Tapioca Starch, And Salt)): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Powder): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Sugar Alcohols (Erythritol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
- 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.
