Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cocktail Beef Franks in Puff Pastry scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean And Cottonseed Oils With Tbhq And Bht): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Other Additives (Sodium Diacetate, Sodium Erythorbate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Plant Proteins (Hydrolyzed Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavorings): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Emulsifiers (Mono-And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
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.
