Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Plant-Based Bacon scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Plant Proteins (Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Carrageenan): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor, Natural Smoke Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Plant-Based Proteins, this product is more processed than about 39% of the 990 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
