Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Odwalla, Protein Bar scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Plant Proteins (Isolated Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor, Green Tea Extract): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): 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.
