Butter Rolls

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Butter Rolls 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.
• Emulsifiers (Datem, Polysorbate 60): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Other Additives (Monoglycerides, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Sodium Alginate): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Bread, this product is more processed than about 48% of the 11,494 products we've analyzed.
