Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Barcel, Potato Chips, Fuego scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40 Lake And Yellow 6 Lake): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Plant Proteins (Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Other Additives (Sodium Diacitate, Sodium Inosinate, Sodium Guanylate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Chips & Crisps, this product is more processed than about 85% of the 10,682 products we've analyzed.
