Triple Threat Energy Bar

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Triple Threat Energy Bar scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Isolate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
• Sugar Alcohols (Maltitol Syrup): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
• Processed Fruit Products (Alkalized Cocoa, Chocolate): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

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.
