Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

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

Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
Natural Flavors (Natural Flavorings): 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.
