Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Performance Energy Gel scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate And Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Processed Fruit Products (Chocolate): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerin And Less Than 2% Of: Salt): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Other Additives (Green Tea Extract And Caffeine From Tea): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Snack & Energy Bars, this product is more processed than about 23% of the 8,001 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
