Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Campbell's Pasta Meatball scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzyme Modified Cheddar Cheese (Cheddar Cheese [Cultured Milk, Salt, Enzymes, Calcium Chloride], Water, Disodium Phosphate, Enzymes), Enzyme Modified Butter): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
- Natural Flavors (Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Crusts & Dough, this product is more processed than about 41% of the 2,350 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
