: Definitely "fewer processes", "less" is not strictly correct although it's such a widespread mistake it will probably end up in the language

Spanish term (edited):
tiene menos procesos de trasformación
it undergoes less processing
My first thought when I saw your question was that it was a typo.
This is how I would translate the phrase, leaving out 'transformación'.

It is less processed
... than white sugar.
Plain, basic language, aimed at the target market (household shoppers) for what looks like an ad puff extolling the virtues of brown sugar. I'll never understand why it's almost double the price if it's less refined though...
