Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cauliflower Mac scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor (Tapioca Starch, Salt, Sunflower Oil, Natural Flavor, Silicon Dioxide), Natural Flavor1 (Organic Gum Arabic, Natural Flavors, Rice Concentrate1)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Locust Bean Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
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.
