Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Orange Cream Carb Wise 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): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gel, Cellulose Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Other Additives (Sodium Ascorbate, 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.
