Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Au Gratin Potatoes & Ham scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Parmesan Flavor (Parmesan Cheese [Milk, Culture, Salt, Enzymes], Water, Nonfat Dry Milk, Disodium Phosphate, Salt)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Frozen Dinners, this product is more processed than about 37% 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.
