Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Buffalo Chicken Bites scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Artificial Flavors (Natural And Artificial Flavor (Contains Milk)): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
Other Additives (Sodium Phosphates, Sodium Diacetate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Stabilizers & Gums (Sodium Alginate): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Prepared Entrees, this product is more processed than about 53% of the 6,999 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
