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:
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Nitrite, +2 more): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Colors (Red Lake #40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Powdered Cellulose (Added To Prevent Caking)): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
Within Pizza, this product is more processed than about 24% of the 4,362 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
