Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Mashed Potatoes scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Prepared Entrees, this product is more processed than about 25% 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.
