Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

  • Modified Starches (Modified Tapioca Starch, Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
  • Other Additives (Fire Roasted Green Chiles (Green Chile Peppers, Citric Acid), Stabilizer (Corn Starch, Methycellulose, Egg White Powder, Xanthan Gum, Guar Gum)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
  • Emulsifiers (Glycerine): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
  • Industrial Enzymes (Cheese Flavor (Cheddar Cheese Flavor [Milk, Salt, Enzymes, Cultures], Flavors (Contains Autolyzed Yeast), Maltodextrin [Corn], Salt)): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.

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.
