Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Strudel scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup, Dextrin): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Dough Conditioners (L-Cysteine): Industrial bread additives not used in home baking.
- Emulsifiers (Mono-And Diglycerides, Polysorbate 60, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Locust Bean Gum, Agar, Cellulose Gum, +3 more): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Frozen Appetizers, this product is more processed than about 39% of the 4,714 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
