Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Burrito scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Proteins (Textured Vegetable Protein (Soy Flour, Caramel Color)): Extensive modification indicates UPF.
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Other Additives (Green Chile (Green Chile Peppers, Citric Acid), Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Frozen Dinners, this product is more processed than about 37% of the 5,358 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
