Pure Milk Protein Powder

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
• Processed Dairy Ingredients (Milk Protein Concentrate; Less Than 2% Of The Following: Natural And Artificial Flavor): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Carrageenan, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Protein Shakes & Meal Replacements, this product is more processed than about 46% of the 2,287 products we've analyzed.

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