Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Protein Original Waffles scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Processed Dairy Ingredients (Wheat Protein Isolate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
  • Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate 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.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
