Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Breaded Mozzarella Cheese Sticks scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Dextrin): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Sodium Alginate, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in 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.
