Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Alfredo Pasta with Chicken & Broccoli scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch, Modified Rice Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzyme Modified Parmesan Cheese Paste (Parmesan Cheese [Cultured Part-Skim Milk, Salt, Enzymes], Water, Whey Protein Concentrate [From Milk], Reduced Fat Milk, Milk Protein Concentrate, Enzymes, Nonfat Milk, Cultures)): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Carrageenan): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Plant Proteins (Isolated Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
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.
