Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Donut Cheeseburger scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Wheat Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Grill Flavor (From Sunflower Oil), Smoke Flavor, Natural Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Other Additives (Sodium Pyrophosphate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Pectin): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Frozen Burgers & Patties, this product is more processed than about 84% of the 1,281 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
