Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Boneless Chicken Wyngz scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate (As A Preservative)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Smoke Flavor, Smoke Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Emulsifiers (Polysorbate 80): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
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.
