Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Baked Beans scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Flavors (Natural And Artificial Flavorings): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
Within Beans & Legumes, this product is more processed than about 96% of the 4,710 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
