Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Lite Wheat Bread scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Other Additives (Dough Conditioners (Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Monoglycerides, Mono And Diglycerides, Ascorbic Acid, Enzymes)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Bread, this product is more processed than about 48% of the 11,494 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
