Why Does This Score Processed?

- Industrial Enzymes (Rice Pasta Whole Grain Brown Rice, Rice Bran : Cheese Sauce Cheddar Cheese [Pasteurized Milk, Cheese Culture, Salt, Enzymes], Water, Concentrated Milkfat, Whey [From Milk], Maltodextrin From Corn]): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Sodium Alginate, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Boxed Dinners & Sides, this is among the less processed of the 4,145 products we've analyzed.
