Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Mini Tacos 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 Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
  • Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean & Cottonseed Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
  • Natural Flavors (Flavorings): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
  • Plant Proteins (Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.

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.
