Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Aztec Hot Cereal, Original scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Plant Proteins (Pea Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Breakfast Cereal, this product is more processed than about 40% of the 9,419 products we've analyzed.
