Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Battered Cauliflower scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Colors (Blue 1, Red 40, Yellow 5): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Emulsifiers (Mono And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Sodium Alginate): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Frozen Appetizers, this product is more processed than about 39% of the 4,714 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
