Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Armour, Italian Style Meatballs scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Meats (Mechanically Separated Chicken): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Flavorings): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Frozen Dinners, this is among the less processed 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.
