Artisan Pepperoni Fresh Mozzerella Wraps

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Artisan Pepperoni Fresh Mozzerella Wraps scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Nitrite): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
• Industrial Enzymes (Veg Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
• Other Additives (Sodium Erythorbate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
• Natural Flavors (Flavorings): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Sandwiches & Wraps, this is among the less processed of the 1,978 products we've analyzed.

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