Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cheeseburger scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
- Natural Flavors (Grill Flavor (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean/Cottonseed Oil)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Frozen Burgers & Patties, this product is more processed than about 84% of the 1,281 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
