Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Chicken Quesadilla scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Industrial Enzymes (Cheddar Cheese (Pasteurized Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Annatto (Color), Enzymes)): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
- Other Additives (Tomatillo (Tomatillo, Citric Acid)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
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.
