Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cheesy Spinach & Artichoke Bites scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Colors (Red 40 Lake): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): 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.
