Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Plant Proteins (Isolated Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
Stabilizers & Gums (Methylcellulose, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

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.
