Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Buffalo Style Chicken 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.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 6, Yellow 5): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Industrial Enzymes (Blue Cheese Flavor (Blue Cheese (Pasteurized Milk, Cultures, And Enzymes), Whey, Maltodextrin, Natural Flavors, Salt)): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
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.
