Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Broccoli & Rice Casserole scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Tbhq, +1 more): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Yellow 6): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Cottonseed Oil And Partially Hydrogenated Soy Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
Within Frozen Dinners, this product is more processed than about 37% of the 5,358 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
