Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Beef 97% Fat Free Franks, Beef scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Modified Starches (Modified Potato Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
  • Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Nitrite): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
  • Plant Proteins (Hydrolyzed Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
  • Natural Flavors (Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
  • Other Additives (Sodium Diacetate, Sodium Erythorbate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Bacon, Sausage & Hot Dogs, this product is more processed than about 45% of the 6,852 products we've analyzed.
