Country Sausage & Biscuits

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Country Sausage & Biscuits scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Other Additives (Dough Conditioners (Mono-Glycerides And Diglycerides)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
• Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Sandwiches & Wraps, this product is more processed than about 15% of the 1,978 products we've analyzed.

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