Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Light Seedless Rye Bread scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Dough Conditioners (Azodicarbonamide, L-Cysteine): Industrial bread additives not used in home baking.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Datem): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
Within Bread, this product is more processed than about 48% of the 11,494 products we've analyzed.
