Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Double Cheeseburger Macaroni Hamburger Helper scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Other Additives (Monoglycerides): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Crusts & Dough, this product is more processed than about 41% of the 2,350 products we've analyzed.
