Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Non Dairy Protein Shake scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
• Processed Dairy Ingredients (Milk Protein Isolate, Sodium Caseinate (Milk)): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gum And Gel, Carrageenan): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Other Additives (Medium Chain Triglycerides, Sodium Hexametaphosphate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
