Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Chicken Breast Nuggets scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Other Additives (Sodium Phosphates): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Emulsifiers (Mono And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Frozen Appetizers, this is among the less processed 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.
