Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Beef, Cheese & Jalapeno Appetizers scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Other Additives (Salsa (Tomatoes, Onion, Water, Tomato Paste, Green Bell Peppers, Jalapeno Peppers, Cilantro, Salt, Vinegar [Distilled From Corn], Citric Acid, Spices, Garlic)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Natural Flavors (Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
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.
