Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Isolate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin, Mono- And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum, Guar Gum, Sodium Alginate): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Bread, this product is more processed than about 48% of the 11,494 products we've analyzed.
