Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Protein Chewy Bars scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Less Than 2% Of: Glycerin, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Powder (Processed With Alkali), Cocoa Powder): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Snack & Energy Bars, this product is more processed than about 65% 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.
