Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Breaded Tilapia Fish Fillets 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.
  • Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
  • Stabilizers & Gums (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Modified Cellulose, Guar Gum, +1 more): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
  • Emulsifiers (Mono And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
  • Other Additives (Sodium Tripolyphosphate (To Retain Fish Moisture)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

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.
