Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch, Modified Tapioca Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
Emulsifiers (Datem): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Stabilizers & Gums (Carrageenan): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.

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.
