Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Bologna scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Nitrite): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate, Natural Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Other Additives (Sodium Erythorbate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Deli Meats, this product is more processed than about 93% of the 4,591 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
