Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Vanilla Shake Mix, Vanilla 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 Concentrate, Soy Protein Isolate, Sodium Caseinate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
  • Flavor Enhancers (Partially Hydrolyzed Guargum): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
  • Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin, Mono And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
  • Other Additives (Sodium Selenite): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Protein Shakes & Meal Replacements, this product is more processed than about 46% of the 2,287 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
