Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Breaded Macaroni and Cheese Snacks scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch, Modified Potato Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
  • Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Yellow 5 Lake, Yellow 6, Yellow 6 Lake, Red 40 Lake): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
  • Corn-Based Sweeteners (Dextrin, Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
  • Processed Dairy Ingredients (Milk Protein Concentrate, Whey Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
  • Industrial Enzymes (Enzyme Modified Cheese (Pasteurized Milk, Water, Sodium Phosphate, Milk Fat, Salt, Cheese Cultures, Enzymes), Enzyme): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.

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.
