Sugar Free Mini Brownie Bites

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Sugar Free Mini Brownie Bites scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
• Sugar Alcohols (Maltitol* Eggs): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
• Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa (Processed With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Natural Flavors (Emulsifier (Propylene Glycol Mono- And Diesters Of Fat And Fatty Acids, Mono- And Diglycerides, Soya Lecithin, And Citric Acid To Help Protect Flavor), Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides Of Fatty Acids): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.

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