Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Corn & Black Bean with Brown Rice scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Smoke Flavor, Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum, Pectin): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Frozen Sides, this product is more processed than about 43% of the 851 products we've analyzed.
