Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

  • Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
  • Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
  • Other Additives (Dough Conditioners (Contains One Or More Of The Following: Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Calcium Stearoyl Lactylate, Monoglycerides And/Or Diglycerides, Calcium Peroxide, Calcium Iodate, Datem, Ethoxylated Mono- And Diglycerides, Azodicarbonamide, Enzymes)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
  • Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
  • Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Bread, this product is more processed than about 48% of the 11,494 products we've analyzed.
