Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cereal Bar scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gum, Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin - An Emulsifier): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- 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.
