Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Chicken Cubes scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Proteins (Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein (Hydrolyzed Corn Gluten, Yeast Extract, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Guanylate)): Extensive modification indicates UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate And Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Seasonings & Spices, this product is more processed than about 92% of the 11,127 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
