Dragon Roll

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Dragon Roll scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Stabilizers & Gums (Spicy Mayo (Sriracha (Chili, Sugar, Garlic, Acetic Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Bisulfite, Xanthan Gum))): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Other Additives (Wasabi (Horseradish, Mustard, Corn Flour, Citric Acid, Vitamin C, Fd&C Yellow 5, Blue 1)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Prepared Entrees, this product is more processed than about 53% of the 6,999 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
