Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Whole Grain Bread scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Other Additives (Gum (Xanthan Gum, Sodium Alginate, Guar Gum)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Locust Bean Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Industrial Enzymes (Brown Rice And Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant 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.
