Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cheesy Taco Hamburger Helper Twin Pack scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Other Additives (Monoglycerides): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Prepared Entrees, this product is more processed than about 53% of the 6,999 products we've analyzed.
