Marble Rye Bread

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Chemical Preservatives (Calcium Propionate And Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
• Other Additives (Dough Conditioners (Monoglycerides, Ascorbic Acid, Azodicarbonamide, Enzymes)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
• Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Bread, this product is more processed than about 48% of the 11,494 products we've analyzed.
