Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Carnitas Bake 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.
- Other Additives (Crema (Cultured Pasteurized Cream And Milk, Whey Protein Concentrate, Sea Salt, Carrageenan, Xanthan Gum)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
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.
