Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Meal Bars scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Fruit Products (Unsweetened Chocolate): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Emulsifiers (Vegetable Glycerine): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
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.
