Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, The Bakery, Grain Bread scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Other Additives (Monoglycerides, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Bread, this product is more processed than about 48% of the 11,494 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
