Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, 30/40 Kick'in Shrimp scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch, Modified Potato Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Blue 1, Red 40, +1 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Modified Cellulose): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Other Additives (Sodium Tripolyphosphate (To Retain Moisture)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Seafood, this product is more processed than about 90% of the 7,747 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
