Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Protein Smoothie scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Modified Starches (Modified Tapioca Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Artificial Flavors (Natural & Artificial Flavor): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
Artificial Colors (Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.

Within Yogurt, this product is more processed than about 81% of the 7,195 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
