Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cheddar Cheese Stuffed Jalapenos scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Milk Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzyme Modified Cheese (Cultured Pasteurized Milk, Water, Sodium Phosphate, Milkfat, Salt, Enzymes)): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
- Other Additives (Sodium Hexametaphosphate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Sodium Alginate): 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.
