- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
- Emulsifiers (Datem): 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.
