Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

- Other Additives (Propylene Glycol Mono & Diesters Of Fatty Acids, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Emulsifiers (Mono & Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Bread, this product is more processed than about 48% of the 11,494 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
