Silk Original Oatmilk

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

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

• Stabilizers & Gums (Gellan Gum, Locust Bean Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Milk, this product is more processed than about 77% of the 4,301 products we've analyzed.

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