Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Protein Shake scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Milk Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Plant Proteins (Isolated Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Processed Fruit Products (Less Than 2% Of: Dutch Cocoa (Processed With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Natural Flavors (Vanilla Extract): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Carrageenan, Agar): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Milk, this product is more processed than about 77% of the 4,301 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
