Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Protein Bar scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Meats (Hydrolyzed Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerin, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Processed Fruit Products (Of: Alkalized Cocoa): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors, Vanilla Extract): 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.
