Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Pepperoni Pizza scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Nitrite, Bha, Bht): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
  • Industrial Enzymes (Soy Lecithin. Cheese Blend: Colby And Muenster Cheese (Pasteurized Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzyme And Annatto [Vegetable Color]). Sauce: Water): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
  • Other Additives (Sodium Ascorbate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
  • Natural Flavors (Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
  • Stabilizers & Gums (Whey Solids And Cellulose (To Prevent Caking)): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Pizza, this product is more processed than about 24% of the 4,362 products we've analyzed.
