- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Artificial Colors (Artificial Color And Flavor): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Emulsifiers (Mono-Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Frozen Appetizers, this product is more processed than about 39% of the 4,714 products we've analyzed.
