Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Diced Chik scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Proteins (Chunks: Textured Vegetable Protein (Soy Protein Isolate, Soy Protein Concentrate, Wheat Gluten, Water For Hydration)): Extensive modification indicates UPF.
- Artificial Flavors (Natural And Artificial Flavors From Non-Meat Sources): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
- Plant Proteins (Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
Within Beef, Pork & Lamb, this product is more processed than about 91% of the 4,915 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
