Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Protein One 90 Calorie Chocolate Chip Bar scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Isolate, Soy Protein Isolate, Partially Hydrolyzed Milk Protein Isolate, +1 more): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Sugar Alcohols (Maltitol, Maltitol Syrup): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
- Emulsifiers (Vegetable Glycerin, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa, Dutch Cocoa (Processed With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Breakfast Cereal, this product is more processed than about 77% of the 9,419 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
