• Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Isolate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor, Vanilla Extract): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Emulsifiers (Glycerin, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Snack & Energy Bars, this product is more processed than about 23% of the 8,001 products we've analyzed.
