Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Artisan Sausage scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Natural Flavors (Natural Vegan Flavors, Natural Smoke Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Arabic): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Beef, Pork & Lamb, this product is more processed than about 77% of the 4,915 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
