Chicken Caesar Wrap

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Chicken Caesar Wrap scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
• Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
• Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum, Xanthan Gum. Provolone Cheese: Pasteurized Milk): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes (Wheat Starch, Microcrystalline Cellulose), Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.

Within Sandwiches & Wraps, this product is more processed than about 15% of the 1,978 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
