Protein Whey Krisp Bar

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Protein Whey Krisp Bar scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Crisps (Whey Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Concentrate, Tapioca Starch, Calcium Carbonate, Sunflower Lecithin)): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
• Emulsifiers (Vegetable Glycerine): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): 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.
