Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Other Additives (Tomatillos (Tomatillos, Citric Acid)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Frozen Dinners, this product is more processed than about 37% of the 5,358 products we've analyzed.

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