Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Isolate, Sodium Caseinate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
Stabilizers & Gums (Methylcellulose, Guar Gum, Sodium Alginate): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Plant Proteins (Hydrolyzed Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.

Within Seafood, this product is more processed than about 90% of the 7,747 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
