Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Ambrosia Dessert scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids, Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate & Sodium Benzoate To Preserve Freshness): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Artificial Flavors (Natural & Artificial Flavor): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.

Within Prepared Entrees, this product is more processed than about 53% of the 6,999 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
