In our analysis, Chicken & Broccoli scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch, Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Tbhq): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
