Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Chicken Popcorn 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.
Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
Other Additives (Monoglycerides): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Prepared Entrees, this product is more processed than about 53% of the 6,999 products we've analyzed.

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