- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Emulsifiers (Vegetable Glycerin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
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.
