Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Chicken & Cheese Mini Taquitos scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Modified Proteins (Textured Vegetable Protein (Soy Flour)): Extensive modification indicates UPF.
Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Dough Conditioners (L-Cysteine Monohydrochloride): Industrial bread additives not used in home baking.
Other Additives (Ancho Chili Base (Chili Peppers, Dried Onion, Garlic, Salt, Yeast Extract, Spices, Paprika, Citric Acid)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Fiber, Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

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.
