Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Chicken with Barbecue Sauce scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Flavoring, Smoke Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Boxed Dinners & Sides, this product is more processed than about 53% of the 4,145 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
