Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Buffalo Style Chicken Bites scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch, Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Other Additives (Sodium Phosphates): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Natural Flavors (Flavor (Aged Cayenne Peppers, Vinegar, Salt)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Carrageenan): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Frozen Appetizers, this product is more processed than about 39% of the 4,714 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
