Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Irish Soda Bread scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Dough Conditioners (L-Cysteine): Industrial bread additives not used in home baking.
- Other Additives (Emulsifier (Mono-And Diglycerides Of Fatty Acids, Mono- And Diacetyl Tartaric Acid Esters Of Mono-And Diglycerides Of Fatty Acids), Stabilizer (Guar Gum)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes [Wheat], Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
- Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
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.
