Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Protein Muffins scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Stabilizers & Gums (Almond Milk (Almond Milk (Filtered Water, Almonds), Sea Salt, Locust Bean Gum, Sunflower Lecithin, Gellan Gum, Natural Flavor), Xanthan Gum, Sodium Alginate, +1 more): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Isolate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Sugar Alcohols (Xylitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
- Natural Flavors (Vanilla Extract): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
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.
