Strawberry Yogurt

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Strawberry Yogurt 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.
• Plant Proteins (Soy Protein Nuggets (Soy Protein Isolate, Tapioca Starch, Salt)): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
• Processed Dairy Ingredients (Sodium Caseinate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Arabic, Apple Strawberry Pieces (Fruit [Apple Puree Concentrate, Strawberry Juice Concentrate], Invert Sugar, Sugar, Glycerol, Dextrose, Wheat Fiber, Palm Fat, Pectin, Malic Acid, Natural Flavor, Elderberry Juice Concentrate); Less Than 2% Of: Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Emulsifiers (Glycerin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

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.
