Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Beef Pasta scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Modified Proteins (Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein (Corn, Soy)): Extensive modification indicates UPF.
Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup*): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Other Additives (Monoglycerides): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Boxed Dinners & Sides, this product is more processed than about 53% of the 4,145 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
