Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Milano the Real Italian Bread scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Dough Conditioners (Azodicarbonamide): Industrial bread additives not used in home baking.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Mono And Diglycerides, Ethoxylated Mono And Diglycerides, Polysorbate 60): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
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.
