Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Peanut Butter Cup Flavored Protein Bar scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Sweeteners (Almond Butter And Sucralose): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
- Emulsifiers (Vegetable Glycerin, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Sugar Alcohols (Maltitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Powder (Processed With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Candy, this is among the less processed of the 21,778 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
