• Chemical Preservatives (Calcium Propionate And Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
• Other Additives (Dough Conditioner (Calcium Sulfate, Guar Gum, Mono- And Diglycerides, Enzymes)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Frozen Appetizers, this product is more processed than about 39% of the 4,714 products we've analyzed.
