Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Alfredo Pasta Mix scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean And Cotton Seed Oils): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Sodium Caseinate Milk Protein): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Other Additives (Monoglycerides): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Boxed Dinners & Sides, this product is more processed than about 53% of the 4,145 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
