Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Breaded Potato Encrusted Cod scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Other Additives (Dry Potato Mix (Potatoes, Corn Starch, Guar Gum, Salt, Methylcellulose)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
Within Seafood, this product is more processed than about 90% of the 7,747 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
