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

• Industrial Enzymes (Cheddar Cheese (Pasteurized Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Microbial Enzymes, Annatto (For Color), Natamycin)): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Cream Cheese (Pasteurized Nonfat Milk And Milkfat, Cheese Culture, Salt, Stabilizers (Xanthan And/Or Carob Bean And/Or Guar Gums))): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
