Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Cheese Stuffed Rigatoni scores Highly 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.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Romano Cheese (Pasteurized Cow'S Milk, Cheese Culture, Salt, Enzymes And Powdered Cellulose (Anticaking Agent))): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Prepared Entrees, this product is more processed than about 25% of the 6,999 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
