Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cheese Burger Pasta & Sauce Mix scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean And Cottonseed Oils): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5 Lake, Yellow 5, Yellow 6 Lake, +1 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Modified Starches (Modified Wheat Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Other Additives (Sodium Hexametaphosphate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Boxed Dinners & Sides, this product is more processed than about 53% of the 4,145 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
