About Processing Impact

The processing impact score (1-10) indicates how much an ingredient contributes to a food's overall processing level. Ingredients with higher scores are typically more heavily processed or are additives used primarily in ultra-processed foods.

Low Impact (1-3)

Minimally processed ingredients like whole foods, simple extracts, or traditional preservatives.

Medium Impact (4-6)

Moderately processed ingredients like refined oils, flours, or simple additives.

High Impact (7-10)

Highly processed ingredients like artificial flavors, colors, or industrial additives.
